that Messrs. Shook Palmer's action lmpelled by
quito different motive In fact was done for ute

ii Messrs. Shook Palmer say that entrsppod
them their foolish purchase from Mr.. Huebner Of
u copy Of s'The Danischcfs they pervert the truth.
Mr. Huebner Is not my business manager Il am
toned 10 do my business myself HIS connection
with the Germania Theatre is that OF messenger; but
do not believe that he induced the sale through any
Misrepresentation. When heard Of the proposed sale
warned Mr. Ossman, the representative OF the Union
Square Theatre, who made the 500 bargain, and in
formed him Of the actual price OF the book
in Germany. Still he persisted in his pur-
chase. THIS Is not the FIRST ioosh pur-
chase'' by Messrs. Shook L. Palmer which
came to my notice. In 1874 they performed Lied
Astray" and claimed the exclusive stage right to 1t
because they had just then bought Of Mr., Boucicault
original drama for large sum and royalties,
although this piece had been performed, printed and
published In France under the name OF ola Tempta
ton" and in Germany under the name OF ''Eine Vor
nchme Ehe" since 1862.
With this experience before me I consider that the
managers OF the Union Square Theatre did not after
all, in purchasing eighty cent book for 500 make
us ''IoDsh" purchase as they are capable oil maxi
ing. AT any could do no moro than did to
dcler them from their bargain. Yours respectfully,
