of law suits in this county.
Sometime durin. this litigation Mr.. Wool

some business matters between Reybold and
Cavender, a copy of which he gave to each
of them. Cavender miSlaid his copy and
requested his brother-in-law, Mr.. Cannon,
of Christiana, Del, to get Mr.. Reybold'S
copy for him. Mr.. Cannon waited upon
Mr.. Reybold, but he was not at home.
Sometime afterwards Mr.. Cannon received
:. postal card as follows:

of your visit, with all due respect to you-
but | decline to have anything to do with
John Cavender in any shape or form.

ANTHONY REyBoLD.
This was written lengthwiSe of the card,
and sometime afterwards Mr.. Reybold was
surprised to receive the same card through

it, and signed {. HaSgerty. This was fol-
lowed by Il postscript as follows:
