The walls of the house may be damp but if so, this is pi ^

the crutters are very liable to get stopped up with leaves front 
trees° of any kind, as the falling leaves get blown into the same

the walls themselves, as well as down the faceVrf the same. 
The upright spouts especially should be examined to see 
whether they are, not choked up with fallen leaves. In the second

of the house and also that which may collect on the walks or 
around line about the house. We think that, if these matters 
are inquired into and remedied, if necessary, you will have no 
reason for fault-finding concerning the Am^lopsi^ Dunn

the foliage would be carried off rather than into the walls by 
the leaves.
