Mr. Munniglut has not arrived, but his friend, the large gentleman who was with him all day yesterday, is here again. He seems very desirous of seeing you, and says he will wait. Perhaps he is your cousin. I thought I would tell you he was here, so that you might hasten down. Ought I to allow dogs in the office? The gentleman has a bull-dog. _Peter Pitchin, Editor, to Henry Inxling, Bookkeeper._ 13 LOFER STREET, Tuesday, 9.30 A.M. Certainly _not;_ dogs have fleas. The man is an impostor. Oblige me by turning him out. I shall come down this afternoon--_early_. P.S.--Don't listen to the rascal's entreaties; out with him! _Henry Inxling, Bookkeeper, to Peter Pitchin, Editor._ "STINGER" OFFICE, Tuesday, 12 M. The gentleman carries a revolver. Would you mind coming down and reasoning with him? I have a wife and five children depending on me, and when I lose my temper I am likely to go too far. I would prefer that _you_ should turn him out. _Peter Pitchin, Editor, to Henry Inxling, Bookkeeper._ 13 LOFER STREET, Tuesday, 2 P.M. Do you suppose I can leave my private correspondence to preserve you from the intrusion and importunities of beggars? Put the scoundrel out at once--neck and heels! I know him; he's Muskler--don't you remember? Muskler, the coward, who assaulted an old man; you'll find the whole circumstances related in last Saturday's issue. Out with him--the unmanly sneak! _Henry Inxling, Bookkeeper, to Peter Pitchin, Editor._ "STINGER" OFFICE, Tuesday Evening. I have told him to go, and he laughed. So did the bull-dog. But he is going. He is now making a bed for the pup in one corner of your room, with some rugs and old newspapers, and appears to be about to go to dinner. I have given him your address. The foreman wants some copy to go on with. I beg you will come at once if I am to be left alone with that dog. _Peter Pitchin, Editor, to Henry Inxling, Bookkeeper._ 40 DUNTIONER'S ALLEY, Wednesday, 10 A.M. I should have come down to the office last evening, but you see I have been moving. My landlady was too filthy dirty for anything! I stood it as long as I could; then I left. I'm coming directly I get your answer to this; but I want to know, first, if my blotter has been changed and my ink-well refilled. This house is a good way out, but the boy can take the car at the corner of Cobble and Slush streets. O!--about that _man_? Of course you have not seen him since. _William Quoin, Foreman, to Peter Pitchin, Editor._ "STINGER" OFFICE, Wednesday, 12 M.
