Times office
Oct 17th 1864
Dear Sir
Feeling that the
article which appeared
in the “Times” some weeks
since, did you absolute
injustice, I beg you to
write me and give me the
facts as to what you
have done for the
country - for soldiers
families. I trust you
will not inudulge any
mawkish sensibility on
this point, --- refuse
to give me the facts
desired. You have been
misrepresented in my
paper inadvertently and
I desire to simply set you
right before the public.
Be kind enough
to give me a conside
red statement of what

you have furnished,
at what price, &c and
also what was the ___ing
price at those times.
Give me the quantity
of flour & meal, also
bacon, the quantity sold
each ____ or year,
the price you sold at, &
the then market price.
I would these facts as
the basis of an editorial
your letter to me will
be strictly private. I
would not ask it only
that you have been wrong
ed through me and should
be righted.
yours very Truly
W L Love
