Office of the Evening Journal,
Albany, N.Y., Saturday 1857
My dear Father,
Somebody
Unknown
in
the Tribune, either through mistake
or malice, seems bent on
putting the “Liquor Selling” story
into wide circulation, in the
worst possible shape.
I hesitate
whether to say anything in
the Journal. Suppose I explain
that your share in the store
is an investment & not a
partnership, and defend
Rhoades
Birth: 1834 Death: 1895-11-30
from the charge
of “swindling” &c. Or shall
I leave it, like other lies, to
die out of its own accord. That
I had thought the wisest
course, until the Tribune insisted
on giving it new vitality. Perhaps
now it may be best to dispose
of it, by stating the facts. But
as whatever appears in the
Journal will be deemed “by
authority,” I do not want to
say anything until I have
your advice.
Affectionately your son
Frederick.
