HARTFORD, KY, June 8, 1878.
Editor Herald:
l desire briefly to reply to the letter
of one n. Z. Williams. which appeared
in your paper of the 9th lust, and es-
pecially to the structures therein against
me.
The statement as made by said VIII
liams in his said letter. and as agent
for John A. Reitz Il Sons, are each
and in every particular. unjust, untrue
and false.
saw Andy Heppleman, one of the
representatives of said John 4. Reitz
& Sons, on yesterday, the 9TH inst, and
he told me that the aforesaid n. G.. W IL
liams was no agent of said firm, and
never had been an agent and that
his said firm aforesaid never author
lied the said Williams to make any
such publication as was done by him
in their behalf, and this conversation
took place on yesterday, at Louisville,
KY, in the presence of Gorge Ander-
son. Wilbur Condict and others.
desire to say further that the said
N. c. Williams, who unjustly repre-
sents himself as the agent of John A.
Reitz Il Sons, must be a very poor
clerk indeed, if he could not measure
logs more accurately than by the thous
and feet as he says; 'they lacked
from 5000 to 1000 feet of holding
out with the firm measurement.
will state further that Andy Hep
pleman and myself had a settlement
on yesterday, and in the presence o.
these gentlemen, and l am to go tC
Evansville, Ind, and re-measure the
logs, and the one that is in the wrong
in the measurement heretofore, is t.
publicly acknowledge the same through
the medium of your paper.
