|. You say that you gave the que--
ton "a careful and thoughtful considera>
ton No one knows better than you
hat this statement is false You do not
forget that you at first declined to listen
to or receive our documents, bu. sent us
directly to the President; and you cannot
forget that you dld not receive our writ
ten statement, which you had requested
until . O'Clock in the afternoon, and that
at the special Cabinent meeting at .
o o'clock the same day your adverse opln
ion was read This is the most impor-
tant case of the kind vi this age or oil any
age "a ca,e that viii never cease to be re

: admitted by the most consplcupu-, ear
nest, and important OF the petitioners.
This statement Is not only untrue but i
a misrepresentation Of the medical pro
'esslon, and practically accuse, me of
mls:spresenting them. WHAT | did say,
both IN the body OF the petition aud III
NY address to the President, as placed
on your table and published everywhere
was exactly the OPP sit that nIne-tenths
ofthe PIN SIC IT. Of the country regarded
Uulteau as insane. At the present time.
after the terribly insane death that Cult
eau died, and after the miscrosopic exam
i~nation of his diseased Train, probably
500 oil ! 900 OF the profession regard him
as insane; but | hold you responsible only
for your mlsotatements of what was said in
The documents that were brought to your
official attention. Very truly,
GEORGE NJ. BEARD.
