BATAVIA, N. Y., March 13, 1892.

DEAR MAUD-The change in your behavior towards me from the kindness of an attached friend to the cool indifference of a distant acquaintance-indicates but too plainly that, by some means, I have had the misfortune to excite your displeasure; through how or when I cannot imagine, Recently, I have several times attempted to seek an explanation, but, in every instance, my courage failed me at the critical moment, and, as a last resort, intrusting to my pen the duty which my lips should have performed, I now write to you, to ask wherein I have offended. Whatever may be your reply, rest assured that my feelings toward yourself cannot be changed, and that your beloved image will ever be enshrined in the breast of Your affectionate friend, Explaining an Apparent Slight.
