Juneau, Alaska Dear MT. White:
 read with interest the letter of Dr. Stillman deploring the use of Dr. Hall Young's letter to him (Stillman) regarding MT. Marquam. I have no doubt but that you printed MT. Stillman's letter in the interest of truth.
 However, editorially, you have accused me of being a recipient of a copy of the letter of Dr. Young, and as circulating the said letter, and also of inducing Dr. Young to write it.
 In line with your action as it re- lates to Dr. Stillman, I trust you will publish this letter in order that the truth might be known, to wit:
 That I am not in any way, directly or indirectly, to blame for the writ ing of the letter about Marquam by Dr. Young;
 That I have never received a copy O: the said letter.
 That did not directly or indirect ly procure it's publication;
 That have not directly or in- directly circulated the letter;
 That I an absolutely as innocent of the publication of the Stillman letter from Dr. Young, as is Dr. StilIman himself.
 Yours very truly, WILLIAM L.. PAUL
