"1 want to take thia opportunity to say that while 1 was still of ths opinion that your court was without jurisdiction. that waa my legal opinion,- and, of eourse, if I was right in that opinion your order would not, be of binding force.

It would never have occurred to ana that there waa any if 1 had never aeon anything printed about it. J know that yoa did aot intend any thing of tha kind, oa account of the kiad personal relations which have existed between us and which now exist. aad which would, in my judgment, ren dor it impossible for you in any manner to be discourteous to ins. Your state meat wss substantially ta the effeet that lyoa - were of the opinion then, as you still are, that the court waa without jurisdiction, ud if yoa were right in that opinion the order' which I made would, be of no binding foree. Of eourse, as a matter of law. that would be true, and there would be aot the slightest element of discourtesy in. the statement. I hare not for .a moment dreamed, ia fact, I hare stated to each party who called my attention to it that without intending to do so ths way tha matter waa atated la the newspapers might Justify tha inference that there waa some discourtesy, but that the way it was actually stated made it impossible ia my judgment for that eonelnsioa to be draws from it.
