I am a subscriber to your Museum and have been very much pleased with it. I write to let you know that I wish very much to have you continue the story of Philip Brusque. I wish to know whether the people lived contented under the government of M. Bonfils, and if they ever got away from the island. I live at Utica, and was much pleased with the account of your visit to this place thirty-five years ago. FROM A BLUE-EYED FRIEND, SAMUEL L********. DEAR MR. MERRY: If it is not too much trouble, I should like to know what became of Brusque, and if Mr. Bonfils made a good king. With some assistance, I have found out the answers to three of those puzzles which were in the last Magazine. The first is MOTHER, the second CHARLES DICKENS, and the fourth PRINCE DE JOINVILLE. If the following be worthy a place in your Magazine, by inserting it you will oblige A NEW HAMPSHIRE BOY. I am a name of 11 letters. My 10th, 11th, 8th, is a useful grain. My 3d, 4th, 8th, is an industrious insect. My 1st, 2d, 7th, 4th, is an ancient city. My 6th, 2d, 5th, 11th, is a name often given to a royalist in the Revolution. My 9th, 2d, 3d, 3d, 4th, 5th, is a bad man. My whole, Mr. Merry, you know better than I do. * * * * * I offer my best thanks for the letters from the following friends: “One of your blue-eyed readers in New York;” “A little subscriber in Canandaigua,” whom I shall always be happy to hear from; E. D. H----s, of Saugus; C. W., of Millbury; C. A. S. and L. B. S., of Sandwich; L. W----e, and W. B. W----e; and “A Subscriber.” S. L.’s letter about the postage, dated Utica, April 22, was duly received. H. E. M. thinks that Puzzle No. 5, in the April number, is either a hoax, or that the solution is NANTUCKET. We think it is a little of both: that is, that our friend who sent it to us intended it for Nantucket; but about that time it was “all fools day,” and the unlucky types of the printer seem to have made a very good puzzle, as sent to us, into “an April fool.” ROBERT MERRY’S MUSEUM.
