promised support and personal service in connection with the work , and there is therefore a strong probability that the prospect will beilafro afloat before the end of the month . In reply to a
letter from Brother Scott , detailing the steps already taken , Mr . Goschen expressed his satisfaction at the prompt and cordial manner in which his suggestions had been taken up , and saying he
would be glad to learn further particulars , with the view of causing practical suggestions t <» be put into shape .
