Messrs. Fleischmann & Co.,

St. Paul, Minn. Gentlemen: —

We are sorry to inform you that we cannot fill your order of the 8th inst., in less than ten days. We have so many orders on our books for this class of goods, that we are obliged to take them in rotation, notifying each customer of the necessary delay. We have, however, sent you the two crates of No. 342, Cut Glass, and enclosed the two packages of French Porcelain. These goods we have sent by Merchants Despatch to-day. Please notify us if we shall fill the balance of the order at the time specified.

Yours very respectfully,

Taylor & Stevens.

Every intelligent stenographer will concede that the use of light lines and a seperate and distinct character for every sound, will increase the legibitity of shorthand very materially; but they suppose that a light line system cannot be arranged without disadvantages of some sort. A comparison of the extracts from Pitman and Munson (on pages 29 and 30) with the originals, will show that Light Line Phonography is not only three hundred per cent, more legible, but is briefer, more facile, and better in every respect than ordinary shorthand. Of course an occasional outline will be found that is longer than that used by Pitman or Munson, but the majority of the outlines are shorter, and an actual count of the pen strokes, will show to the advantage of the Light Line Phonography.

The only real difficulty in ordinary shorthand is its lack of legibility. In rapid writing the strokes which ought to be shaded are frequently written light, and the position indicates the accented vowel, which may be in any part of the word; the consequence is, in reading, the words cannot be spelled.

In Light Line Phonography, every sound is represented by a seperate and distinct character, so we know exactly what the consonants are. The position vowel, reads immediately after the first consonant, unless otherwise shown. The consequence is, in reading Light Line Phonography, the outlines can be spelled out, almost as well as if every letter were actually written.
