My dear Student

I hope you do not believe all you hear of me. You know people do not know one half what I say, and often think I say what I do not.

No person ever heard me say aught against you personally. I have the highest regard for your character.

All I have said with which you were associated was in a general rebuke to the way the publications were handled.

We have a chartered body and Corporate, that was responsible. It was wrong to put my name on the front and refuse others, you would not do such a thing. Mr. Buswell did. The Lawyer had already said there was cause for libel. There was no valid excuse! A grand opportunity lost!
