sent in the Fall of1S3s, when The conversation feie,fe"
n in Mr.. Adams publication, took place, IN which he
eau. snoke in very disrespectful terms of Mr.. MInge;

Dear Sir-I have just received yours OF the 2Oih

fall of 1895, when a conversation, referred TO IN MT.
Adams's publication, took place, "n which ne says,
spoke in very d,srespectful terms Of MIR. M'ngc, ano
whether you heard me apply language to Mr.. m'nge
at all disrespectful; if not, to whom that disresPectu'
language was applied.
time about the time alluded Ia, and MIR. Adams and
Mr.. Bolts had an alteration respecting a transaction
between Mr.. Mlnge and MIR. Bolts. do not think
that Mr.. Bolts used any language towards Mr.. Minge'
dIsrespectiul; his remarks we're intended Tor MT. ADAMS
IA we'll as RI collect. lie appt AIRED o good deal iretted
with MIR. M,uge, and observed that he would never
have another Transaction with Mr.. Minge. The Ian
puare that considered most disresppcttul, was intend
ed 10 apply 10 Mr.. Adams, and Mr.. Butts remarks u
| MIR. Adams were pretty harsh, charging MN WIN IN
,rrierng and ~meddl,ng with his transactions with Mr.
M,nge; and think Mr.. Adams understood the remarks
70 apply to him, as We have talked about the mattel

Dear Sir: Yours of goth instant, | received TIN
say, mr. recollection OF the subject OF the enquiry con
tanned in the first part of your letter, is too imperfect
enable me 10 state with accuracy what occurred on I'll
occasion alluded to by you, and you must therefore ex
cuse me from giving you my Impression about the mai
ter. With regard TO your last enquiry, can only say tha
| heard you on one occasion use towards Mr.. Adams
in his presence, what ! regarded as very offensive Ian
guage, in respect to some decision OF his on 4 race Il
which you were concerned, which DIR. Adams did no
resent in my presence; but ! cannot undertake to sa
whether he had or had not sufficient reasons for tn
course he pursued on that occasion.
Very respectfully,
Your ob't servt,
ID. G.. RANDOLPH.
