This seemed to me great injustice, he

consulted Mr.. Seal, and we believed
that if this letter should he published in

ness as we'll as myself. / requested Mr..

Lindbergh, to see if sucl, malicious mat.
ter could not be suppressed and that
there might be some prohibition of
sending such articles through the nail,
and if legal steps could be taken to en-
join such letters from going through the
mails. Mr.. Seal complied with the re-
quest and stated that postmaster Wetzel
and c. A. Lindbergh substantially said,
it could not be done and that We should
not pay any attention to the letter even
II it should be published, because the
letter would be from an enemy of mine
and it would appear in an opposition
paper and would not lnjurc the business

was to this. Mr.. Seal conferred favor
by seeing the gentlemen above men
toned and l fail to see any wrong in
what he did.
