America where thereis the little old ramshackle victoria in the south,where cigars are smoked on the street in the north;where there are no proof-readers, no silkworms, no digressions;the wild man's land; grassless, linksless, languageless country inwhich letters are writtennot in Spanish, not in Greek, not in Latin, not in shorthand,but in plain American which cats and dogs can read!
