James McCormick Dalzell questions the propriety of the publication of several ungrammatical letters in a local newspaper. The letters were originally sent to Commissioner of Pensions Ware from individuals seeking pensions, and their publication appears to be an effort to mock the letter writers. Dalzell requests that Ware remove the employee responsible for the publication of the letters.
