The Old Maid N' VL Finds No Favor With Editors
A former letter writer laments lack of notice from periodical editors and contributors. He recounts sending puzzles and essays to Gentleman's, London, Universal Magazines, and others, only to receive curt ads or mock acknowledgment. He criticizes modern authors and laments his recluse lifestyle and disdain for the literary world. The piece ends with a misdirected Latin exclamation about the Virgin and Saturns reign.
