Whereas, on Saturday last, a lady, gen­teelly dressed, was seen to lead a string of beau­ti­ful stone horses through Ed­mon­ton, Tot­ten­ham, and New­ing­ton—this is to ac­quaint her, that if she is dis­en­gaged and in­clin­able to mar­ry, a gentle­man who was on that oc­ca­sion is de­sir­ous of mak­ing hon­or­able pro­posals to her; in which state if he be not so happy as to please, he will readily pur­chase the whole string for her satisfaction.

San Quentin Convict. I am 26 years old, Ha­wai­ian, doing time for rob­bery. I’d dig hear­ing from chicks that aren’t hung up on middle-class Amer.-type life! If you’re into the com­mu­nal or­gan­ic bag, that’s outasite. Say­ing what you think and feel is beau­ti­ful. Don’t know any­one from Ca. as I got busted right after com­ing from Ha­waii, so it’ll be an ex­pe­ri­ence for me too. Will ans­wer all. Peace!
