    The initial letter of the text is formed from an illustration showing a magic lantern projecting an image—of Mr Punch pursuing a street musician—into the distance. The text concerns a spoof letter from Charles Francis Adams to Harper Twelvetrees on the subject of the United States government's patronage of Twelvetrees's washing crystals, bug-powders, and other inventions.
