TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—Feeling that an explanation of my apparent dis-
courtesy to Mr. Bedborough was due to him and the
subscribers to the fund raised on my behalf, I left Paris
on Monday, and on Tuesday afternoon, in company with
my friend and adviser, Mr. Darvill, waited upon the
late Mayor of Windsor, both to explain and apologise
for the breach of business and social etiquette whirdi I
had committed. This explanation and apology I had
hoped would have been regarded as amply sufficient by
Mr. Bedborough, as I know it was by Mr. Darvill. I
afterwards, at Mr. Darvill's office, wrote (as I informed
Mr. Bedborough I should) a letter containing the expla-
nation and apology, with a view to its being published
for the satisfaction of the public. I regret, however, to
perceive by to-day's Times that Mr. Bedborough has not
done this, but, after speaking of several communications
from me "partly confidential as, also, contradictory,"
he leaves me to make my own statement. This I now
do by requesting the favour of your inserting my letter
to Mr. Bedborough above referred to.
I will only further add that, though my present views
are directed to a civil rather than to a military career, I
am most anxious that the petitions to her Majesty should
be presented. I wish to have the justice of the sentence
passed upon me tested ,by the rules of law, and that, as
I have said below, not only for the vindication of my
own character, but for the good of the service generally.
I have the honour to be, Sir, yours most obliged,
91, Blackfriars-road, Nov. 22. J. E. PERRY.

"Windsor, Nov. 21.

"My dear Sir,—l feel that after the misconceptions
that have arisen, both in your mind and in the mind of
the public, in reference to my conduct in drawing a check
on the London and County Bank without first consulting
or informing you, I should lose no time in doing justice
to you, and in removing any unfavourable impression
that may have been created against me by the advertise-
merit in the 7imes of the 9th inst.

" After the court-martial closed I went to Paris, not
to indulge in extravagances and folly, but to obtain re-
laxation after the perplexing and harrassing proceedings
of which I had been the subject, and with the desire,
also, to appear as little as possible before the public.
"I did not, however, in Paris, join in the society of
any eLe of whom I need be ashamed, nor have I been
guilty of any one single act which can reflect upon my
reputation and honour ; and, in proof, if necessary, of
my mode oflife in Paris, I can (if it be any satisfaction
to you) refer you to gentlemen of the highest standing,
whose names at least will be a perfect guarantee of the
truth of my statements.
" When in Paris I saw in the Times that you had re-
ceived towards my defence and testimonial fund upwards
of 2,0001., and that you were desirerus of closing the sub-
scription. I was then recommended by .a gentleman
perfectly conversant with monetary matters—being a
paFtner in one of the first banking houses in Paris, and
one who had taken a lively interest in my welfare—to
invest 2,0001. in American railway securities (the Gal-
veston, Houston, and Henderson Railway), realizing
from 6to 8 per cent. on my investment. Not, however,
being acquainted with the precise .forms of pecuniary
transactions, and thinking naturally that the money was
at my disposal, I drew on the London and County Bank
for 1,500/., and I also drew on my cousin for the money
I had in his hands arising from the sale of my commis-
sion. Now, the fact of my drawing for 1,500/. was not
in itself an impropriety, had I first communicated with
you ; and any want of courtesy in omiting to do so I
exceedingly regret. After the trouble you have taken in
my behalf, it was due to you that I should first have
writen to you, and at the same time have expressed my
gratitude to you for all your distinguished exertions on
my behalf. And, indeed, so strongly have I felt on
this point, that I have come [from Paris] to Windsor
purposely to explain and apologise for my unintentional
discourtesy towards yeu.
" Now, I de not seek to spend one farthing of the
fund subscribed on my behalf. I am perfectly willing
that the money shall be invested in the joint names of
yourself and Mr. Darvill in ths securities I have named,
te be disposed of for my benefit as you shall both ulti-
mately determine. But, should you and Mr. Darvill
feel that I have done anything which disentitles me to
the money, then I beg that the whole amount subscribed
may be paid to the Royal Patriotic Fund, to aid those
who have done honour to that profession from which I
was as unjustly excluded.
" I may add that, throughout the generosity of a
munificent and sympathising friend, I am placed beyond
want, and that my prospects are such that I shall be
enabled to pursue an honourable and, I trust, a suc-
cessful career in private life.
" I feel that you will have no cause to reflect upon
yourself for having stepped forward to sustain ii ie when
subjected.to proceedings as unparalleled in theirinjustice
as they were cruel in their consequences.
" I bepe that you will cause the addresses so nume-
rously and influentially signed to be presented to her
Majesty for obtaining the opinion of the judges on the
evidence and proceedings of the court-martial, not so
much to vindicate me against a cruel and unjust verdict
as to maintain the integrity of the law, and to prevent
a recurrence of so gross a violation of every principle of
truth and justice as was exhibited in my unmerited per-
secution.—l remain, my dear sir, yours, with sincere
respect,
" Mr. J. T. Bedborough.
