DEER ISLE, March "a, 1870.
W. II. SIMPSON, ESQ. SIR:-Our attention is
called to an article in your paper of March II,
signed by some one here, who signs him or herself,
Deer Isle. We Postmasters here deening the
same unjust, and duplicating some one of us, as
dishonest, and untrustworthy, think it just and
fair that we should have the writer's name, or the
original article, as written to you. By your post
script it would seem that you did not have the full
name of your correspondent, and by the original
article, we might possibly find out the writer, if
you cannot do so. By complying with the above
you will confer favor on the public servants in
this Town, acting as Postmasters.
Truly yours,

w. H. II. SPoFFoRD, ESQ. DEAR SIR am in
receipt ofthe communication of March 2Sth, signed
by yourself and three other Postmasters of the
town, asking that the name of correspondent OF
the Journal may be furnished to you, or the manu-
script given up. In reply have to say that the
information concerning the loss of money at one of
the offices on the Island was not derived solely
from the ommuncationalluded to- Several sub
scrbers to the paper have stated their reluctance to
send money through the mail. for that reason.
Under the circumstances, deem the publication
to have been proper.
And 1 must decline to give you either the name
or the manuscript of the writer-unless it can be
shown to me that the communication contains gross
and malicious untruth. In that case will do all
in my power to set the matter right. The letters
of the correspondents of this paper are confiden-
tial, and not to be given up on the demand of any
persons, so long as the writers do not impose upon
the editor and the public. Very truly yours,
