The Natchitoches enterprise., 1916-05-04

I for one, must interfere and
stamp upon such conduct the
character it should properly bear
that of a maleyolent and malignant
falsehood.
| am about to start in half ar
hour for the upper Post on REQ
river, and will return on or about
the 4th or 9Th of July.
Yours very respectfully,
L. G.. DE RUSSY.
To JNO. r. DUNN,
| returned to Natchitoches on
the 9th July, and Immediately
understood that Mr.. Dunn had
sent to Alexandria for a friend,
and that from certain demonstra
tons, the affair was probably
about to to take a serious turn.
| understood further, that MIR.
Wynn was the gentleman to be
employed as Mr.. Dunn's friend;
upan hearing this | could not but
experience regret, for though Mr..
Wynn enjoys ana | beliYe de-
serve, unimpeachable standing,
knew he was personally inimical
to Judge Billiard, | had heard him
make the avowal and l could not
but think that this circumstance
might have an unfavorable tenden-
cy.
On the evening of the 9th Mr.,
Wynn and myself had been in
conversation and when about to
part for the night, Mr.. Wynn OBJ
served, he had a letter from Mr.
Dunn for me; I asked him if he
bore the letter as the friend of
Mr.. Dunn, and whether he was
inform'd as to its contents; Mr..
Wynn replied to both enquiries in
the affirmative: / said / wish him
to understand / would receive no
letter in which Mr.. Dunn might
have indulg'd in abuse of me or of
Billiard Mr.. Wynn, said he
did not consider the letter as
abusive to me, but that he could
not say so much for Jadge Bull
lard. | told him l could not re-
it, and handed the letter
back to Mr. Wynn.
Believing that Mr.. Dunn had
The right of writing any proper
letter to me, and that / was bound
10 read such a letter; and to show
Mr.. Wynn that my object was not

responsibility l had ircur'd to-
Mr.. Dunn; / stated dis
