Humorous letters "written in up-to-date slang of the day."

Excerpt from Billy Baxter's Letters In presenting a new edition of Billy Baxter's Letters we need only refer the reader to the original preface, which sets forth the circumstances surrounding the initial publication. Billy Baxter claimed, for his slang, that it was up to date, but time has proven that it was far in advance of date, only because many of the expressions used in Billy Baxter's Letters did not come into common use until upwards of ten years after the publication of the famous stories. We offer this re-issue of Billy Baxter's Letters to our American friends in the hope that it will come with as much sunshine to the present generation as the original edition did to the past.
