Hon. JR0. Sherman:
DEAR srR:-My attention has Just been
called to letter in the New York Tribune
to-day purporting to give the history oi
our yesterdays interview. This letter
does great injustice to both you and me,
inasmuch as it says / referred TO the Ad.
ministra.ion as hspocritical lying and
trilliug, No such language was used by
anyone, nor anything said which justified
any such charge. Certainly / did not,
and I am very sure that you did not.
True, ! entertained and expressed the
opinion that several preceding interviews
had not been characterized by that degree
Of candor which then believed was due
to me. Il was on this point alone that
we had any discussion which approached
disagreement. l said that, although
Judge Schofield had been already appoint,
ed, I was not informed Of it, but on
the contrary, your voluntary offer 70
deliver nv papers to the President next
morning aud your advice to call on him
conveyed to me the impression that the
question Of appointment was still open,
You justified your action and the Presi'
dents also on the ground that until the
offer was accepted the appointment was
not considered made. To this took no
exception. II I said anything at which
you were surprised am not aware Of it
II you said anything at which l might
have been surprised / did not hear 1t
The interview was earnest on my part
but in no sense was it either ill.tempered
or ill.msnnered on either side.
Yours respectfully,
JOHN n. THOMSON.
