Snow Show Delights and War-era Letters Unearthed
A fragmentary 19th century newsletter piece blends a playful tribute to snow with wartime correspondence. It recounts a humorous note about a buffalo robe theft and gifts exchanged among soldiers, then shifts to a long excerpt on lithography’s origins. The letter from 1863 details a chaplain’s baggage and a plea for field transfers, ending with a discussion of Alois Senefelder and the invention of lithography, its advance from stones to chromo-lithographs, and how the art democratized fine imagery.

Saxon Words and the English Language Debate
The piece argues the English language borrowed many Latin roots after 1066 and ponders a purely Saxon vocabulary. Dean Trench suggests favoring Saxon terms to replace borrowed words, citing examples like sand-wista for massacre and holy words for luxury, while noting Saxon compounds often suit modern needs.
