My dear Brewster; 
' • • i 
Glad to know that there is a chance of you’r 
coming out here after the holidays. Make it a certainty. 
What is there to review for Jan.Bull.? 
I am delighted to learn that you are commencing to interest 
yourself in the matter of Type Writers,although I must confess that 
your chirography has greatly improved during the past few years. 
Used to think that you and Maynard were rivals in the mystic art! 
I was forced to indulge in one of these luxuries,for such it 
unquestionably is,for two reasons; 1st,to enable my friends to com¬ 
prehend what t wanted to say to them; and 2d,to save the time and 
expense of an endless amount of proof correcting. You ask if I 
like it. To be sure I do,and wouldnt pa^t with it at any price if 
£ couldnt get another. I have Remington’s because I believe it to 
be the best. The “Perfected Type Writer No.2" is the correct machine 
It costs one hundred dollars (S100.) with but a slim chance of dis¬ 
count. On no account get one of the cheaper machines,as they are 
far inferior. It takes about half an hour to learn how to use one 
eorreetly,and considerable practice to write rapidly. I can now 
Hastily your’s, 
write faster with mine than with a pen, C.H.M.
