A Connoisseur Of Gastronomy Was Congratulated On His Appointment As A Director Of Indirect Contributions At Periguex: And, Above All, In The Pleasure There Would Be In Living In The Midst Of Good Cheer, In The Country Of Truffles, Partridges, Truffled Turkeys, And So Forth.

Dear Gourmands! My Bowels Yearn Towards Them As A Father's Toward His Children. They Are So Good Natured! They Have Such Sparkling Eyes!
