NASHVILLE, June 25th, 1928.
Dear Sir-You have doubtless seen
tie statement made in the Republican

Jackson's purchase of negroes from
| Richard Epperson, which assert is
gross misstatemDnt. have notified Ge-
neral Jackson, yourself, and all the di-
iectors ofsaid Bank, through the medi
um of the Wing and Banner Of yester.
dav. that | shall expect to meet him and
| you, at the Bank to morrow TO examine
said accounts. This felt bound to do
in defending against the effects of their
erroneous statement A it is not my
wish to have any thing done er parte,
nor to ask any exclusive favors, have
] to beg the favor of you to let me know
| when the General or anv agent for him
is prepared to 90 into the examination.
Ii all is as the Editors saw il is, the Ge-
neral will axe pleasure. no doubt, in
meeting .Se promptly and exhibiting
all his papers. which he lately withdrew
from sad Rank A good cause requires
no concealmeuts, but the most open in
vestigauon; truth is all powerful and
Will prevail; any cause that requires e.
yaslnn or Concealment, in matters Of
this kind, fifteen years after all the in.
junction of Bank secrecy expired, by
settlement Of the transaction in full, must
be very bad one.
Yours Respectfully.

troversy from retirement, from the worst
of motives, as verify believe have

vile attack, here, at Washington, and in
