Braidwood, "Will Co., 111., Feb. 14th, 1869. 
To thh Gtieat American Tea Company, 
31 and 33 Vesey Street, New York. 
Gentlemen :— Business, and a want of opportunity, have 
for the last eight months prevented me sending, or rather at- 
tending to our monthly club, whose orders I sent you regu- 
larly for about. a year previous. Since that time many indeed 
have been the solicitations by many of the members, that I 
should once again commence and send club orders— for, as 
some declared, they had got no Tea, no matter what the 
price paid, since I quit sending the club orders. I have, 
therefore, at the urgent request of a few, resolved to send 
you a small order monthly, and as a beginning send you the 
following:

THE 
NEW- YORK TIMES. 
A Political, Literary, and Miscel- 
laneous Newspaper. 
The New-Tork Times,— started in September, 1851,— has 
for many years been recognized as among the most success- 
ful, popular, and influential. newspapers in the country. It 
is still under the control and management of its original 
founders, who, with greatly increased resources and experi- 
ence, will spare no pains to extend and strengthen its claims 
upon the confidence and support of the public. 
The Times is a Republican journal, and will be devoted, 
as in the past, to an intelligent support of the Republican 
Party. It will sustain, with all its ability, the principles and 
policy of General Grant's administration. It will advo- 
cate those measures by which the honor, the peace, and the 
prosperity, of the nation can be best conserved and pro- 
moted. It will vindicate our dignity before foreign nations, 
and will discountenance aught by which our self respect or 
our love for republican institutions could be endangered. 
The Totes desires to be judged by the highest possible 
standard of journalism. Its Editorial Department will 
be conducted in a spirit of fairness aud impartiality, free 
alike from personal rancor or undue favoritism; and will 
be the production of the ablest and most experienced wri- 
ters upon all the subjects treated. Its Correspondence 
will be full and timely. Its Reports will be prepared with 
the utmost care, and will embrace every fact or public utter- 
ance of opinion that possesses interest and importance. 
The Literary Department will be in thoroughly capable 
hands, and will.present a full review of the literature, the 
fine arts, the music, and the drama of the day. 
The Sunday edition of the Times will [include, in addition 
to all the news, selected and original literary matter of the 
most varied and agreeable character. 
The Weekly and Semi-Weekly editions of the Times 
will be compiled with the greatest care, and will contain 
selections from the most important contents of the Daily 
Issue, besides matters of interest to the agricultural sections 
of the country. All who prefer a newspaper but once or 
twice aweek will find these editions admirably suited to 
their requirements. 
A special edition of the Times for European circulation 
will be published every Wednesday and Saturday, in time 
for the European mails, and will be valuable and wel- 
come to our friends abroad, whether Americans or of any 
other nationality than our own. 
AH these editions of the Times are of the very largest 
size, on large quarto sheets, each containing' jfiftystx col- 
umns, printed in clear and legible type, at the following
