Rosewood, Sept. 27, 1913. MR. F., IroR-I am just able to sit up, after g very violent attack of fever. My family, too has been thrown into the deepest and atilietion by the sudden death of our youngest daughter; and cannot, consequently, be expected to notice the editorial baIeies contained in the last North ArlSan- sas, winch has this moment been handed to me. cannot, however permit one statement the Editor makes, to pass unnoticed. He says I stated that Arkansas owed to Col. Sevier, the donation of the 500,000 acres of land granted her by the Congress of the United States l never made any such state ment. My statement was, that Col. Sever was entitled to the credit of proposing an amendment to the section of the bill granting the 5O0,000 acres which section limited the selections to iands subject 10 entry at pyipate sa'e; and by which amendment, all the public lands which have been supeyed, are liable to be selected. This amendment, which opened all the choice lands of the State to selection and which gave than double value to the dona- ton, was carried in the Senate, Con Col. Seviers motion,) and afterwards became part of the law l did not suppose that even my worst enemies would be guilty of the act of putting language into my mouth, which never uttered and then making it the foundation of an attack upon me, which will not characterize and yet such has been the course which this Editor has pursued towards mo. make no further comments.

 1 am, respectfully,

 your obedient servant,
