1t necessary 10 trouble you once more with very brief
summary OF the facts which Dr. Perry ought to meet
squarely his signature, or else not dispute at ALL
l. The owner Of the Opera-HOuse gave DR.. Perry tho
rise OF hail. for Sundays only, upon terms liberal that
Dr. Perrys own friends spoke Of 1t as almost donation
O. The new owners were compelled TO alter tho ROOM

TO the use Of the hall altered but this would not
suit him. they desired to know upon what terms ho would

surrendering the premises that he should receive land

Messrs Fisk Gould offered him 800 In cash. or his

expense OF fitting up the ROOM One OF these rooms was
aud al OF them were much more expensive. All these
Offers refused on the ground that eash down was
s Mr. Crosby wrote a note TO me, nquiring 10 whom
tho rent should be paid. This note received by
hours and When was quito unit to transact business

at home sick lie stated the contents Of the note
nor any Of my partners and the gentleman to whom
le spoke had idea OF what Mr. Crosby wanted. Even
the fact or such call having been made was never Known
or suspected by me- until week afterwaTd.
2. Dr. Perry and Mr. Crosby were both perfectly wen
aware that Mr. Fisk OF tho VI the Opera
House, aud at the Erie Office every day, where Dr.
Perry had met him than The note, therefore,
always seemed TO inc unimpOrtant; and as believed
that Mr. Crosby had never inquired at the Office for

DR.. Perrys conduct IN this whole affair seemed 20
mo indicative OF gTaspng and unreasonable spirit and
his final manifesto also 10 indicate that e IL not
oppressed with for the truth Mr. Crosby however,
gentleman worthy OF high respect, and II with
great regret that contradict any OF hls statements But
lis memory IS certainly at fault when he says that
promised TO DO nothing without notice TO him. never
made any promise approaching 70 this OF course,
Mr. Crosby sincerely thinks that did but he Is totally
mistaken And as he saw me the day before writing his
card and did not them among all his coupaiuts, men
ton this supposed promise no will surely regret having
made serlOns charge immediately after nm interview
In which he could have received an explanation.
The ph Of the whole matter IT, that Dr. Perry str0ve
very hard take advantage Of tho technical rights which
DC mad obtained from the generosity OF the OperaIOuse
proprietor Having failed In this effort and lost all the
liberal terms OF compromise that were offered him. he Is
naturally very angry. Having opened tho war with
seres of untruthful resolutions, he Is forced to defend
them by series OF assertions equally untruhful But
FAR as he Is pleased 10 take Issue with me- have not the
sghtest fear that nay character for yeracy will suffer-
