dispatches with you, if Mr.. Winslow's assent
can be secured. l will see him, tomorrow,
and if he makes no objection you can have
them on sharing the expense.
In regard to your request for the Minneso-

courtesy, and on the basis of my own expert
ence, that You will probably find one daily pa

or, at any rate, probably, attend to. But,
aside from that, have fancy for arranging
and settling my own affairs, in my own way,
subject only to my own constitution. was
satisfied, before entering into the present tele-
graphic arrangement, that DR.. Foster, by his
persevering and violent attacks on Mr.. Win
slow, and all others connected with the line.
meant to prevent, if possible, the dispatches
being taken by any of the papers here. On
being thus satisfied opened negotiations with
Mr.. Winslow, and found that reasonable ar
papers which were, almost daily, abusing him.
!, therefore, made the contract exclusive. AZ
ter this was done, the agents of DIR. Foster
attempted to debauch my employees, and
bride them to violate the trusts with which
they were charged with what success, the
"bogus Dispatch issue of the Minnesotian,
exhibited.
Now, if knew or supposed that you were
acquainted with these facts before making your
request on behalf of the Doctors paper, l
should regard such request as an impertinence,
and treat it SO. But, presuming otherwise, l
have made the above statement. You will per-
ceive that it presents q case in which your in
reference, on DR.. Fosters behalf, is inadmis-

editorial way. and wish you success and en-.
joyment in it. Truly,
