A Contradiction
February 3rd, 1913
Fox Hr., Southwest Arm, Random
(Editor, Herald)
Sir,– In the Telegram of January 23nd was a false and slanderous statement about the Relieving Officer of this place. It was signed “The Widow’s Mite.” The facts are that the money came to my office on January 10th, and I despached it in the next mail, January 14th. On the 23rd the paragraph was in the Telegram. As for the system I never mentioned it to a widow since I held office. In my opinion it is little the writer cared for the poor widow as long as he got her small mite to swell what was in his pocket. I definitely deny the charge made against me.
Yours truly,
Relieving Officer
