ment :
The statement telegraphed from Rochester,
H. Y., to the. morninf? papers of tho country
that there is, or has been, any antagonism bo
tween us and our father's wife or his widow, at
itny time, Is utterly false. That there has
been any consultation - with any one at any
time or any place, in rejrard to any will of
Frederick Douglass, our father, we have no
knowledge. We are absolutely unable to ac
count for the statement made from Hochester.
The man Lee, who .says he is bound to secrecy
to all parties, tells an ubtruth if he includes the
undersigned In "all parties." We have hsvd no
conversation with him at any time !u regard
to our father's affairs. His statement is
wholly unwarranted,
