Study of the Principles. If well-grounded in the princiembodied in the three rules and the expedients to imply
frequent letters, together with the prefixes and terminals, the
resolving of most words into their representative elements would
seem to offer little difficulty to any thoughtful student, while to
many it becomes a keen mental pleasure. Xew words that cause
hesitancy should subsequently be recalled and studied until they
become clear and facile. In writing unfamiliar long words do
not stop to determine the entire outline of a word, but begin at
once by writing the first letter positionally, to imply the second, in
doing which the writing of the remainder of the word will gener110.

The student should take a dictionary and write all the words
which the foregoing prefixes apply.
These prefixes
129. The Prefixes satis, dis-satis, and tm-satis.
are represented as follows:
The word satisfy, with its various
terminals, is represented by omitting satis, and writing /with the
terminal across, or under, a preceding word to imply the prefix
satis.
For dis-satis attach ds loop to/, and for iin-satis attach
minute u to /, and write across, or under, the preceding word,
thus implying satis not only in satisfy, but in dissatisfy and
to
un-satisfy.

Dear Sir We received a letter from you dated Nov. 3 asking iis
you some goods. Your order is for spring goods and we had not
planned to ship them until December or January. Furthermore we do
not feel it consistent to furnish goods while you allow your account to
run overdue. We must have prompt settlement of our accounts to make
them of value to us nowadays, on account of tlie low price of goods and
the strong competition in business. Yours truly.

supposed you understood this was to take the place of the pair of shoes
The package was sent by mistake to

you mentioned in your letter was meant as a credit for the bill of Sept.

We have, therefore, made an additional credit of 37c, which, with the 2
already credited, will make a total of 2.37 to balance bill Sept. 30.

In reply to your letter of recent date we beg leave to
we have cancelled your order for the remainder of the goods due
you as requested. We regret that the delay in shipping should have
caused you so much inconvenience, but we have certainly tried our best

stitching room so that we are now able to get out nearly double the
quantity of goods we were formerly able to do, and are now in a position
to fill orders promptly. Shipment of your goods would have been made

Your favor of the 14th inst. is received. When we

Again referring to the delivery of P. C. C. & St. L. cars
4409 and 61255, as per yardmaster's Junction report of May 26, 1899, and my
letter of inquiry of the 4th inst. attached,to which you reply that former car
is charged to L. N. A. & C. and the latter to L. E. & W.) I desire to state
that several days ago Yardmaster Pratt advised me that these cars should
not appear on his report, as they belong to the L. N. A. & C. I note from
memorandum herewith attached, addressed to you, that only one of the
cars should be charged to the L. N. A. & C. I liardly understand why
Information relating to these cars should conflict.
Please investigate
further and have the matter fully explained. If the former information
given by Mr. Pratt is correct and the latter is incorrect, or vice ver.sa, we
can not altogether depend upon his records of cars moved. I trust the
importance of the case will be impressed upon Mr. Pratt to sucli an
extent that it will not again be necessary to direct his attention to con:
flicting_statements.
