TO TBS KOTOS OX THS PHJESS. Sir, —I was flattered this morning when I was asked by a penman as facile as myself to write one of my letters about two threepenny bits he bad just lost in the Racecourse road dot telephone box. He had to come In to borrow another one. “But why not write yourself or ring ‘complaints’?” "Ah! can’t you see? I want to throw in the weight of your name.** “Oh! I do see, and as I’ve a bit of a complaint of my own, I’ll! voice it here and now. We want to know how much longer we will have to wait before the long promised change from the 3d to Id slot will take place.** , So please publish and please us all; I do not want to bring any wrath on any head, so I suggest lint the publicity of this letter is punishment sufficient to fit the crime; it iramt my saxpence.—Yours, etc., „ M PETER TROLOVE. i March 28, 1833.
