saw expressed themselves as we'll
pleased with my service.
In answer to charge No. a, filed by
you against me, desire to say that
] never told you that I would take
the examination again, what told
you was that I was not afraid OF the
examination when I took IL, and would
not be afraid Of 1t again, meaning to
convey to you the thought that 1 east

the same, and could Just as easily
pass 1t again II Il had to, but new.

Your statement shows that your mind
was very much confused as to what

we were in conversation, and / will ask
you to very carefully read the same
as probably you would want to with.

contradictory. You did not threat.
en- me until after told you that

In closing wish to again reiterate
my specific particular denial to each
