...have no doubt but that items of news in the article are substantially correct, but your reference to "Jellybeans" is all wrong, and especially your explanation in the note. You define a jellybean as a heap this "Southern small opprobrium town upon the loafer." Why heap this opprobrium upon the South? We are as loyal to your publication as any portion of the country.

A mighty small thing, yet I believe every Letter Carrier appreciates being referred to as a Letter Carrier. Thanks to TIME for setting a precedent. BURT...
...Shootings are the order of the day through all the Republic. We can cite a number of cases which prove our statements, but we shall refer to only one, that in the city of Leon in the State of Guanajuato, which, for cruel, barbarous, inhuman and unjust treatment, has sown the most profound discontent throughout the republic...
