Be Patient

By Editor

Be Patient.—We have very much correspondence; more many times than we can answer promptly. We are sorry that some of this must wait, but that is the absolute necessity of the case. It is so regarding questions to be answered through the paper. We have probably fifty questions ahead now. If our readers will be patient we will get to them all in time. Many questions which come, we answer by letter, if stamp is enclosed. Sometimes we get questions on postal cards; questions which demand answer by letter. The writers of these, we are sure, are designing no injustice, nor do they think of the time and trouble that it may cost to answer their question, nor do they stop to think that their question is multiplied by a great many questions which come to an office like this. If they would stop to think of this, they certainly would be willing to enclose as much as a postage stamp for reply. Their private postage bill may not be more than 50 cents or one dollar a year; ours runs away up into the hundreds of dollars. We are sure that our friends will take this into consideration in writing and asking questions; many of them do, and to these we render our sincere thanks.
