TRANSCRIBED FROM THE BRINKLEY ARGUS AUGUST 30, 1918 P. 1
Dear Mr. Folsom:
The above letter was received by a friend of mine, from a French Mademoiselle. It shows very plainly that she tried to write in English from the dictionary. It shows how anxious the French people are to learn the English language. And it shows, too, what a mix-up one makes in trying to write a different language from the dictionary, suppose we would do just as bad trying to write a French letter by the dictionary.
If this meets your approval you many publish it in your paper.
With all good wishes for you and the ARGUS, and all the Brinkley people, I am
Your very truly,
Walter W. Smith.
