MEisRs: EDIToRs: | notice in your paper of to-
day Card from MIR. Thomas Berry In relation to
statement made by myself
Mr.. Berry, admitting all the facts stated nv me
only complains that q id not state that ne told
Col Berret that there We're no legal services rem

that Col BeTret, whilst an attorney and agent for
Claims, bad been his confidential adviser for
years, ana that his SERVERS in that capacity some
OF which he stated, were CT the greatest advan-
tage to him.
Mr.. Berry admits that he declared he would
never repeat the charge, but he insists that there
was prOviSo. In this Mr. Berry is mistaken;
his deciaration In every instance was voluntary,
and nnaccompanied by any condition or proviso
whatever.
Ny Introduction TO this controversy was as
heretofore stated. From that was satisfied that
Mr.. Berry sought the interview. Another reason
was found III the fact that Mr. Berry expressed
and repeated his regret that he had not sought
my advice In this matter a week or two previous.

There is certain y no tue complaint Of injustice
In this matter; unless against Mr.. Berry himself
