RED Wing, June 29ih, 1863.
Messrs. Wilder, Brooks, and Reynolds !:
In reply to your inquiries in regard to my
failure or refusal, to pay the insta:lments as
they fell due on my subscription to the SOL
diers' Aid Fund. have only to say, that
l subscribed to said fund in good faith, in
tending in good faith to discharge the obi
CATION assumed by me. That when the
first ins'allnents was called for, Twas about
to leave town, and did so leave, and was ab-
sent until the day the Trustees made their
first report. On the evening OF that day
Mr.. McIntire called upon me, and stated
that they were going to make a report, and
requested me to pay my installment, I :old
him that expected to be able to pay it that
evening, but stated to him that might be
disappointed, and explained to him the ar
rangement l proposed to make he expressed
himself satisfied Herewith. was unable
to do as desired, in consequence Of the
non fulfillment Of promise made By anoth
er party. These are the facts, up to the
evening the Trustees made their report,
Judge Of my surprise when in the next issue
Of our City papers, l saw myself denounced
as repudiator, not simply that was in
arrears but had repudiated, refused to meet
my obligation. called upon Mr.. McIntire
and asked him for an explanation, he &C.
knowledged the injustice Of the publication
and said his co trustees were cognizant Of
all the facts in my case. l cannot but feel
that have been greatly wronged by the
action Of the Board Of Trustees, by the pub
lication of my name as = defaulter, and
hence feel and still feel yself warranted il
having no intercourse with them as Beard
Of Trustees, until justice was accorded me
it is all ask or desire, trusting that shall
receive that at your hands, enclose the
amount Of my subscription now due.
Respectfully Yours,
| A. D. WHITNEY.
Accompanying this letter, was an order
Of Mr.. Whitney upon Chas. Betcher Esq.
for the amount now due, upon Mr.. Whit
ney's subscription, which order We produce
and turn over to the Trustees.
After looking for Mr.. Ward sometime
without success, Mr.. Wilder had personal
interview with him which (Mr. Ward be
ing in haste to leave town for few hours,
resulted in nothing but bis promise to SCI
Mr.. Wilder sgain' this P. NJ after his re-
turn to town.
We have not since seen him, and are in
formed he did not return to town until at
hour too late, to meet tho committee.
All which is respectfully submitted.
