From Hon. Garrick M. Harding, ex-Judge Luzerne County :—
MY DEAR CHARLES:

Your European letters, originally published in the Telephone, are too interesting and instructive to run the risk of that oblivion which too often is the fate of a country newspaper. Resurrect them by all means and give them book form, so that our children and children's children may participate in the pleasure which their ancestors have enjoyed. GARRICK M. HARDING.

Very truly yours,

WILKES-BARRÉ, Pa., Oct. 8th, '88.

From William Puckey, Bookseller :—
CHAS. D. LINSKILL, ESQ.:

Dear Sir-I have read your letters from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and France with much pleasure and profit. I was never so much interested in letters of travels. Your letters are eloquent pen pictures of great and beautiful things, and are as attractive and reliable as the most carefully written history. I think your book will have a large sale. I shall at least take two copies. Truly yours, WM. PUCKEY.

WILKES-BARRÉ, Pa., Sept. 25th, 1888.

From Rev. A. Griffin, Pastor Central M. E. Church, Wilkes-Barré:– MY DEAR FRIEND CHARLES:

It affords me very great pleasure, indeed, to add my unqualified endorsement to your project of yielding to the advice of your many friends and putting your European letters in more permanent form than a local newspaper can give them. The careful perusal of your familiar letters is next to a personal visit to the Old World. Publish them in book form by all means, and count me a subscriber to a copy of the first edition. Very truly yours, A. GRIFFIN.
