My dear Mr. Maynard, 
As a friend of long standing 
I am going to take the liberty of writing you 
that there is a scandalous tale circulating 
about Charles Johnson Maynard. “Thay 
sav’ that you have reached the advanced age 
of seventy-five years, actually, seventv-five

be reversed and that you should count only

that vou may ‘live long and prosper” and 
see not only eighty-five years but ten more 
if you wish. Representing them I am send-

check to vour order on the Boston Safe De-
