! That So Called stolen Letter,
Much furry was made by the Houkites
some time since about what they claimed
to be some stolen documents in the hands
of Capt. Rule, and R. W. Austin and D. 81.
Meek professed to offer 5000 reward for the
thief, but they signally failed tc come to
time when confronted, and displayed the
iinsiness of their trick. Now, here
Is copy of the important
document, which was addressed to Houk.
The letter was handed to Captain Rule by
business gentleman of Knoxville; he
showed it to Mr.. Eckle and returned it to
the gentleman who gave it to him. If Mr..
Meek can be satisfied with having written
such letter, Captain Rule and his friends
ought to be satisfied for his having showed
it to the gentleman whom Meek tried to
bride for Houk 1t is good reading.
OFFICE OF CLERK AND MASTER,
CHANCERY COURT, JEFFERSON COUNTY
d. Fl. Meek, Clerk and Master
CAMBRIDGE, Tenn, Aug. IA, 1882
DEAR JUDGE: | see from the course
things are taking that Rule and his strikers
intend to use the little paper here belong
ing to the negro Patterson in Rules favor,
III his dirty lying canvass against you.
Eckel, with his Banner, has as yet taken
no stock. His father (W H. EckeD an6
nearly ali his people are leaning to Rule
Now / want to checkmate this matter, and
write you to know: LIST, Can you furnish
any moley with which to run Eckel's pa
per for you; if SO, how much? Ezekiel is
not able to run the paper to do much good
without some money! I'd, Eckel would
make splendid Department clerk, and if
you can arrange to give him a clerkshiI
after the election, am satisfied he will dc
all he can for you with his paper, and il
would also make you lot of warm friends
among EckePs relatives.
lSigned Your friend,
D. II. MEEK.
