my dear Mr Thayer,

Perhaps you have not heard that I have left The Dial, but
since I have only had a note from Miss Moore expressing amazement,
I am writing to ask for an apology from you both. I believe you
knew before you left that I knew of your going through my scrap-
basket, and yet you said nothing to me about it and I did not
. . . . . . . . I had been advised to take Mr Burke's word for it
that it had nothing to do with me. Last Wednesday Miss Moore
told me a few cruel details and when I said I felt it absurd to
distrust me, she said, "O no, Miss DePollier, after all we don't
know you." Anyone who has been with me would think that outrageous
and after these weeks at the Dial it is ridiculous. I think
that you both owe me an apology for accusing me of lying, stealing,
petty offenses (Miss Moore spoke of these) and perhaps of black-
mail. I thought Miss Moore would apologize when I resigned be-
cause of "misunderstandings." I shall not write her again, but
leave it in your hands to see that justice is done, I hope gener-
ously.

F.S. Mr Burke, too, I think, owes me an apology for being so
willing a tool.
