Lola MONIES AND f. p WiLLs-The letter of the re-
nownel Lola Moptcs to the NewYork Herald relative
her affairs with her late agent Mr. E p Willis is of
the most sarcastic productions of the times and will prove
perfect crusher Mr. W. unless he can clearly rcfute
the charges made against him. We give telling
tracts from the fair Loa's communication
Mr f. P Willis called me in Paris, introduced him
self the brother of Mr. N P Willis editor of the Home
Journal he called it, the Times of America and
the most influential paper in the United States that he
(E =. WILLIS controlled the press of NewYork and
responded with large number of the leading papers in
various parts of the country At interview he stated
he had heard that purposed visiting America and
offered his services to facilitate the object of my proposed
tour. introduced Mr. Willis to my friends and he
cceded in making them believe that he of the
most influential mon in the United States and that the
Home Journal and his brother, not only made public
opinion in this country controlled it after it was
made and that ithe employed my success placed
beyond possibility of doubt OF course it became i'm
pnrtant that desirable person Mr., Il. p Willis
should be secured and finally decided to select him
my travelling agent, to accompany me to the United
States Shortly after his first interview he frankly stated
that although he had large property in the States
yet temporary difficulties had occurred which pre-
vented his agents in NewYork from making the usual re-
mitances, and that he was actually without sou The
utter part of this story Scertaned to be strictly
true The frankncss of Mr. Willis appreciated, his
Scanty wardrobe replenishcd he was taken from the
wretched garnet whore he domcilcd his watch which
was at his 'uncc's.' redeemed andRMr Willis soon
found himself independent of the charity of Americans
in Paris
As an instance of the way in which he abused my
fdence / may state-a single case An American lady
travelling up the Rhine was in temporary pecunary
barrassment sent her 400 francs by the hands of Mr.
Willis whotold that the lady had received it. and
very grateful On my arrival in Newly rk accidentally
learned that Mr. Willis had given her sou, but
that she had been relieved from her difficulties in Europe
by the generosity of the Hon r. J. Walker Up to the
time of my departure from Paris had paid 1000 francs
to quidate claims against Mr. Willis without which hi
could not have left that city. Had my kindness
generosity to Mr. Willis been less he would have beer
in the hands Of his creditors in France instead of being
in this country publishing letters in the newspapers
injure me.
Many advantageous proposals made to me in
to nv visit America and in particular by Mr. Ia
Grand Smith the agent of Mr. p, 7. Barn,m who hat
credentials from the latter distinguished person to maxi
engagements for him in Europe but the representations
or rather Misrepresentation of Mr. Il. p Willis induced
me to decline all such oyertures and to keep him
agent possible after arrival without sut
,ring greater pccuniary loss than had already cxpe
renced discharged him altogether from my house ant
service.
Now. Mr.. Editor. have always believed that wa
more capabe of arranging and attending to own bust
ness than any other person for Previous circum
stances taught the correctness of this idea and thes
latter transactions only convinced me the more of it
truth therefore determined in future to act di
rectly for myself and hereby repudiate any and ever
one who may attempt to represent msrepresent me-
sustain me in this determination, and with many thank
am sir very respectfully your friend, etc.
