| The public will have noticed card ia yester-
days Day Book, signed by S. March. He says
| that ''misquoted and garbled" what purported
to be an extract from letter written by himself,
and calls upon me to publish the entire letter, and
| reap the reward" my gratitude" deserves. NJ y
| object in making the extract not to "inure"
! him, but to show what petty means he had re
sorted to for the pHrpose of injuring me, and to
make for himself the pitiful commission allowed
upon Cotton Gin. 1t was known that while
had taken the order for the Gin, had not deliv-
cred it, and it was doubtless expected by this let
ter to have the order with me countermanded
and 81 cured to himself did not profess to quote
the letter verbatim, but to give the substance,
and hence said s'about as follows" He accuses
me of "misquotng and garbling," and then calls
upon me to go TO the expense of publishing let
ter entire, which, according to his account, is to
clear him and convict myself. Thou innocent
Such liberaty is only equaled by the pure and
good motives which prompted the writing of that
famous letter | made two applications to Mr..
| March on yesterday for copy of the letter, but
was refused it. Ny object was to give the very
words used by him. He either said "to prevent
you from being" or, ri think you have been ilr-
posed upon !" so that he either charges me with
imposition, or tries to produce the Impression
| that was capable of it. 1t was impugning my
character, and could not have the effect designed
without some little ingenuity in its wording. 1t
is for him to give the letter entire. Will he do
it? Ellis gratitude deserves''-w is meant
by this Does he mean that | ought to be CRATE
full to him for having unwisely written a letter
that may, in the end, do me good cannot give
credit for this, because it was not so intended.
If the old and respectable merchants spoken of
would have written such letter under "similiar
| circumstances" | have only to say that the cir
| cumstances must have been peculiar indeed. If /
only knew them, perhaps | would change my
views; but with the lights before me, must say
that it looks ''kinder ugly" For many reasons
sincerely regret the necessity of this reply, and
am done with it, unless something hereafter shall
be said to render continuance absolutely neces
sary.
The close reader of Messrs. H. l.. Emery
Sons card, will discover that he does not contra
dict any statement heretofore made by me upon
Emery Bros authority. The point made was
that ii. Il. b. neuer made a Cotton Gin an the
United States previous TO November, 1864, wh' ch
,0as long after the reputation for the Emery Gin
had been by Emery Bros. He says that the
Albany Agricultural works were established by
him in ls47, '48, and 40, and that he was con-
fact that the works were established by him in
ls47 does not prove anything regarding the time
he commenced making Gins. But he goes on to
say, "and more recently (since 1861 in connec-
ton with Emery Bros, who then for the first
time, DC; In what capacity, pray, was he con-
nected with them ''since 1852 He does not tell
us, but he does say that the firm of Emery Bros
failed, and that the firm was composed of w. B.
George W. Emery. His connection" there
must have consisted in the fact that he was en-
plnyed by Emery Bros. upon salary per month
or day, and this is precisely what Emery Bros.
say. He says also that the Gin which was taken
to London in 1862, was made with his own hands.
Suppose it was. Does that make him, in the
proper sense, the manufacturer? He was then
working by direction of his employers and using
such material as they chose to furnish him with.
shall now leave Fl. L. E. Il Sons to settle with
Emery Bros. In the meantime, II. L. E. & Sons
