vice OF trustworthy friends admonishes me
that owe IL to them as we'll as to myself, to
make an exception In this last and most fla
grant instance. Accordingly j intrude my =
self upon the public so far AZ to pronounce

duct towerds lady In sleeping car on the
Hudson river railroad to be absolutely false,
and to declare that / stand ready to meet
