done a great INJURY 10 Mr.. Craemer as well
as myself, feel compelled 10 supplement
my letter Of yesterday.
First-As TO Mr. Webber, although he is
an entire stranger to yoo, you implicitly
believed him without inquirjng about MS

that he has assailed CTaemer ana myself
IN his paper for TWO months. and IN such
a vicious manner that. on February :, the
executive committee OF the societies whicn
own the paper passed resolution toFolo-
ding him 10 write any more about the
Craerrer ease and myself, which resolution
was published in his paper Of February j.,
