John Sullivan Dwight, Blindness, and Music Education

Abstract

By some mischance, number 25 of your excellent journal has not reached me and I have anathematized the post office department until my patience is exhausted. . . . The fact is I can no more do without every number of your paper than a country schoolmaster can without his . . . pipe. It comes to me vibrating with all the good music heard in our country. In brief though a weekly it is mighty strong. . . . [C]offee and buckwheat cakes on a cold winter morning are nothing to it. If after this you do not send another copy of the aforesaid number 25, for those post office _______________ have abstracted the copy you did send, what shall I do.
