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. 1have 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, Iwas about
to leave town, and did SO leave, and was ab.
sent until the day the Trustees made their
first report: On the evening 81 that day
Mr.. MeIntire 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 he able to pay it that
evening, but stated to him that might be
disappointed, and explained TO him the. ar
rangement proposed ia. make he expressed
himself satisfied Herewith. was unable
to do as l 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 l had repudiated, refused to meet
my obligation. i called upon Mr.. McIntire
and asked him for an explanation, he &C.
know|edged the injustice Of the publication
and | said his CO trustees were. cognizant ol
all the facts in my case. cannot but feel
that l have been greatly wronged by the
action Of the Board Of Trustees, by the pub
licatioa Of my name as : delaulter, and
hence feel and still feel yself warranted in
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, I enclose the
amount of my subscription now due. .
Respectfully Yours,
A. D. WHITNEY.
Accompanying this letter, WAS IN order
of Mr. Whitney upon Chas. Betcher Esq.
Tor the amount now due, upon Mr.. Whit.
ney's subscription, which order W produce

without success. Mr.. Wilder had personal
interview with him which (mr. Ward be.
ing in haste to leave town for . few hours, J
resulted in nothing but his promise to SEE
