Partial TLS, one page, 8 x 7, no date. The interesting conclusion of a longer letter, in part: "Evidently the Post editorial was written by Wells. The Aiken letters do clearly show that in his letter to the Chronicle he just steered clear of rocks on which he would have foundered had he been entirely frank. I saw Carl Schurz in New York and he mentioned the correspondence between Wells and yourself and spoke most favorably of Wells, so I promptly told him what Bissell had told me, and mentioned that I had informed you of it. It greatly surprised Schurz, and I think completely changed his views. I think you can afford to let the matter rest where it is. There is no use of daring him to a libel suit, though I haven't the slightest idea that he would venture to go into one." In fine condition, with the top of the letter neatly trimmed off.
