Owing to my absence from Richmond, did not
see the card Of Mr.. Charles II. Wynne, in the
Richmond Times Of Monday last, until my arrival
here, and would perhaps have never seen 1t II my
attention had not been called to 1t by friend. /

third interest in that paper, and repudiates the
written contract have with him. or course he
would 1t is this denial Of my rights and violation
Of contract that has impelled me TO appeal to the
courts. But am sorry, In the recital he makes OF
certain facts connected with the history Of the
tablishmsnt of the Times, Mr.. Wynns should not
have dealt with me in spirit OF more fairness and
truth. To some Of his statements must make an
emphatic denial. Referring to certain steps taken
to induce General Ord TO revoke the order OF pro-
hbition against the publication OF the Times, Mr..
wynne says: 81" [meaning 'himself-Wynnel,

which the following 10 copy: in this
Mr.. Pollard was not . party I'm other words.
Mr.. wynne claims TO have effected the order Of
revocation himself!
Now, solemnly declare, and stand ready TO
prove, that every word Of the letter referred to
above was written by me that 1t was borne to
General Ord by my own hand; thai II was with
the greatest difficulty and indomitable perseye-
rance, and through the active and earnest inter-
position Of one OF his aides Ia friend Of my bro
ther), that got an audience with him. that II was
through my iatsrcession, and my intercession
alone, and my personal representations, that In
duced General Ord to revoke the order OF prohibi.
tion, and that the securing Of the following en-
dorsations from Generals Ord and Patrick were my
otoa indirtdadi act:
