_Seeking Success in Life._
LOCKPORT, Oct. 28, 1842.
DEAR FRIENDS, if I may so call you: I read in the New York
_Tribune_ a piece taken from the _Dial_, headed "The West
Roxbury Community." Now what I want to know is, can I and my children
be admitted into your society, _and be better off than we are
here?_ I have enough of the plainest kind to eat and wear.
