That Letter.

Mr.. John Burke was spoken of in some
what strong terms. We knew nothing of
the letter or the John Burke referred to and
simply published it as it was found on the
reporters file at the Central Station. In
Justice to gentleman of that name residing
at the place stated in the card, we would
say that no one believed any reference was
made to him. On the whole we believe this
to be the act of some malicious person, and
was considered joke at the Station and
elsewhere, and was published as such.
