COMMUNICATED.
To the Editor of the St. Johns
Review: After reading the state
ment published in the last issue of
your paper concerning the St.
Johns ferry boat, I desire to mod
ify it so far as it has reference to
my telephone conversation with
Mr. George M. Trowbridge, editor
of the Journal. Uiwn reflection,
I do not think I should have stated
that the editor's conduct was such
as to cause me to believe that he
expected to be offered hush money
or advertising to suppress certain
facts he claimed to have collected
concerning the ferry boat. He
never in any way suggested that
he would with hold them from pub
lication for a money consideration
aud it was not my intention to
convey that impression. I should
have confined my statement to the
fact that he appeared extremely
antagonistic against Peterson Bros.
& Smith and myself aud was in
clined to place implicit faith in all
reports that came to turn reflecting
discreditably upon us. The state-
meut was written while 1 was con
fined to my bed sick, at a time
that I felt very much aggrieved by
the falsity of the report in the
Journal and my language was not
guarded as carefully as it should
have been. G. J. Perkins.
