personally because the MID

L am not concerned with her
editorial in SO far as the AS

however, resent the implica-

do with placing this ad or the
implication that we had con-
ferred and agreed with you
to leave the advertisement
out of her papers. AS a matter
of fact, to my certain know
ledge, you had no prior in
formation in regard to this
matter and were not consulted
with at any time.
For thirty years my work
