To Charles L. Webster
18 June 1883 • Elmira, N.Y. (MS: NPV, UCCL 02143)
Dear Charley—

Say nothing at all to Jones, for if there is a suit I cannot be a witness on his side. There is not a sentence in the interview that ever issued from my mouth. There are two or three parts of sentences, but no complete one. As a gen rule the interviewer has invented both the ideas & the language.

It seems to me Duncan has a strong case against the Times—would have, if he had any character.
