NEw-Yosk, Dec. II. 1882
SIR: You seem TO hunger for greater No;ofsty
than on now possess. and you peTe.si in wi1sg no
letters, though have giyea you lct,o thas DO nos
coyet our correspondence.
when a gentleman desires TO corsmunieat, with
sroher 10 whom he = a Stranger, he procnrre FRO.
some other gentleman known to the one with wh,m he
wishes 10 communicate an introduction; this Is a, in
disy,nsable guaranty of his character and Standing
Ills Necessary preliminary to all correspondence be-
tween strangers You have neglected. whether becsn
you we've hot aware Of IL necessity, or b,tsase yoa
were urable to procnre IT, am, Of course Innformef
All that know Of you il dat you have beer arrested
by the police for disturbing public meeting; hat your
knowledge ofthe English language Is such ss indica-
ted Nv ccnfouu6ing the verbs "iuply" aud "Spply'
ty spelling "sEulking" with c, and by ignoring
punct ion in general; and that you w'e ms letters
narkedalikeby arignoranoe, by mpertnenoe
ana by want of sense In the absence of all other
information 20 whether you belong To- the upper or
tue low er asses OF society, and TO your personal
character and habits, judge Sir, what must be my i'm
preston from these facts.
You addressed to me a demand for the rtrac,ion Of
raragraIh which had appeared in the editorial
columns of tbs TRIBrSs, ia which your con-
ouct on an occasion when you were arrested
BY the police of Philadelphia was spoken OF lss
that OF a Backyard To this answered that had
never seen heard of that Paragraph Until it WAS
printed in The paper, and consequently had hsd
nctlir 10 do with i, in shy manner; anu further
more that the editor Of THE TRBUSE was another
man than myself, everybody knows. To this
Won reply with the assertion that you do not know
who be is; and you still require me to reveal to you
the auIlor of the paragraph. La your view them 1t s
lot enough that gentleman should tell you that no
has had no hand whatever in what you consider an
oense; Won insist that he .bould turn informer and
deuounce to YOU some third party for you to call 70
account. This may be rule observed by What you
consider men of truth, honor and courage" but "a
one by which decline to be bound.
You charge me- with clubbing and equivocaton;
but think, on the contrary that have told you tho
truth with considerable directness and planness. You
ccucIuce by promising a cheerful acquescehee in any
effort may make to correct your misappreheusion.
Precisely what that may NEAR, do not pretend to I'M
deIstsud but as at Iresent advised, it is matter 40
entirely indifferent to me that DO not propose to make
opy effort at all
Az Sir, your obedient servant,
