The governor said it made him feel pretty bad to think that somewhere this correspondent’s Atlanta sweetheart is pining for the coming of her swain— or words to that effect—and lie ap proves of this sort of holiday petition more than he approves of petitions for •'Christmas gift” pardons. He admits, however, that a portion of the romantic impression first made by the letter was swept tway in part by the final declara tion that his correspondent, after ail, is looking for "a housekeeper" rather than a true love and partner-in billing and cooing. Jesse Perry, the -overnor's private secretary, thinks this correspondent should be sent the money wherewith to get his “Usance,” and that these Christ mas "sweet bells jangled out op tune” should be brought immediately into perfect holiday harmony.
