It vvss then opened, and after examination, returned in its open condition with the suggestion that the contents would enable the English past officials to discover the pel sou it was intended 1« reach ; but in due com;e of time it came back the second time as unde liverable. The letter v* then turned over to one of the lady clerks in the dead-letter office, who. on reading the contents, with a woman’s instinct divined that the “O. lie” who wrote tbu one letter, and the Miss L-, spoken of in the mother’s letter, were identical. What is technically termed a “letter ot discovery” was addressed to the suppositious iady at the address in Scotland, pest-marked on her letter This i-tler, on nailing that office, m forwarded h to d London, width* r the young office lady gone, and U.edend letter her,- received a reply from her, with thanks for the diligence displayed in endeavoring to secure the delivery of the letter, stating that it was the first and' they had heard of the soldier’s death, giving the present address ot the mother of the soldier, to whom the original package lias been forwarded, making its fifth trip across the Atlantis o.can.
