User-Contributed Transcription Dear Lodge? - To redeem my promise I must burden you with a shower of words to night and if a few ideas can be sifted from the fragments, I shall be glad gratified satisfied.I have been wanting an opportunity to say unclear rejoices my heart to find that our honored brethren are really not afraid to speak of temperance in connection with the ballot box.
