 , , Orc., Dec. 27, 1891.

Dear Rev. Father-The three copies of Stenotypy arrived while I was absent-hence the delay in acknowledging the great favor of which I have been the happy recipient, and which I appreciate more than words can express. The Sister who has undertaken to learn this shorthand typewriting is charmed with its simplicity and the case in attaining a practical knowledge of this time-saving art. With heartful thanks for your kindness, and wishing you all the joys of this holy season, I am, dear Rev. Father,

SISTER M. of Jesus, Sup'r.

In the Providence Visitor of October, 1894, (in the editorial column) it was stated that stenographic experts had examined Father Quinn's system of Stenotypy and found that it possessed the merits claimed for it by the Author.

The following letter. dictated by the Treasurer of the American Writing Machine Co., will show what obstacles the invalid Author of Stenotypy may expect to encounter.

, Conn., Dec. 6, 1893.



Dear Sir—Your letter of Dec. 5, with enclosures, have been received. It is hardly a matter we can decide in a moment, and we would like to weigh further before taking up your system of Stenotypy. At first thought we are inclined to believe that it would be a damage. We should certainly secure the undying hostility of the schools."
