Dear Mr. Andrews,
Peter has explained to us the unfortunate incident of your windshield's being directly in the path of his baseball. He wanted to go immediately and apologize himself, but didn't know how to go (144) it.
I have checked with TPS Garage, and they tell me it will cost $ 35 to replace the glass. Peter has agreed to pay for this out of his allowance, and I am advancing this sum to his with the (145) check.
We are sincerely sorry that it occurred and I know that all the boys will be (146) careful in the future.
Very Sincerely Yours,
Ann White

Decide whether the following correspondences are communicating: Hi Peter, One of our key customers, Richard Marsh called this morning. He’s got a problem with the parts he ordered from us. He wanted part number PV202, but we sent him PB204. Another problem is the incorrect invoice. I have asked Mr. Marsh to send back the wrong ones so that we can send them the new ones as soon as possible (solution 1). Or we can give him a refund for the purchase price if he insists (solution 2). Best regards, Alex

Dear Mr. John Davidson,
Regarding the trip to the conference in Jacksonville, Florida, I have looked for flights on the Internet and found out a few possibilities that we could use. You had indicated that you wanted to fly to Destin but that might not be the best plan. Although it is a cheaper flight, we'd then have to take a bus to Jacksonville, which would take a long time. I'd prefer to fly directly to Jacksonville. Also, the morning flight would be ideal. We would have time in the afternoon to see the capital of Florida, Tallahassee. Please see the attachment and let me know what you prefer.
We also need to reserve hotel rooms. The conference organizer informed me that the Europa Hotel does not have rooms available until the beginning of May. It is very disappointing because staying at the same hotel where the conference is being held would be convenient for us.
However, there are other options. Western Phoenix Hotel and Victoria Park Plaza Hotel are within walking distance. If they are full, there is the Corona Hotel. Would you mind arranging a hotel room for us? The hotel phone numbers are on the conference web site. We'll have to reserve 5 days. The conference is from April 26 to 28, but we should try to arrive in Jacksonville on April 25 and leave on April 29.
Best regards,
Peter Plate

An Englishman, William S. Cosby arrived in New York as the royal governor of the province. He was a tyrant. He wanted to make money quickly and he ruled the province with no thought for the law or the rights of the people. Among those who opposed his rule was John Peter Zinger who came to America from Germany. Mr. Zinger started a newspaper which praised liberty and sharply criticized the governor. Governor Cosby arrested Mr. Zinger, charged him with slander and kept him in prison for 9 months. Mr. Zinger could not find a New York lawyer to defend him because of the governor's power. But a leading lawyer from Philadelphia agreed to defend Mr. Zinger. He was Andrew Hamilton, white-haired and almost 80 years old.
The trial opened, the jury chosen and charges read. At that time, the law on slander said that jury could decide only if the person accused published in the newspaper named in the charges. The question of whether words published were true or not was to be decided by the judge. Mr. Zinger told the court he was innocent. Then the lawyer from Philadelphia rose, admitted that Mr. Zinger did publish the newspaper as charged. But Mr. Hamilton continued. The publishing of a newspaper does not make a person guilty of slander. He said that words themselves must be proved false or slanderous; Otherwise Mr. Zinger is innocent. The judge warned Mr. Hamilton that he, the judge, would decide if the words were slanderous or not. Mr. Hamilton quickly turned to the jury and asked them to decide. He said that it was their right to decide whether the alleged slander was in fact the truth. In his final statement to the jury, Mr. Hamilton said the question was much bigger than the charges against Mr. Zinger. He said the question was liberty and right of people to oppose dishonesty and tyranny by speaking and writing the truth. After a brief discussion the jury declared that Mr. Zinger was not guilty and cheers broke out in the courtroom. The decision established the principle of freedom of the press in the American Colonies. Mr. Hamilton was praised as a hero. Through the years the fame of Mr; Zinger trial and praise for Mr. Hamilton has spread throughout the country. Anti so it is believed that the expression "as smart as a Philadelphia lawyer" honors the man from Philadelphia who successfully de- fended the freedom of the press to print the truth.
