Legally advised that this article amounts to a gross libel, and I desire to vindicate my character by means as public as those by which it has been villainously assailed. Permission under similar circumstances was granted to Honorable Lee F. Smith to proceed against the Daily Press for libel some years ago.
In the present case there are special reasons why the matter should be investigated in a Court of Law. It is clear that the materials for the attack on me have been drawn from some official source, and that some officer of His Excellency's Government has abused his position by affording information to the public Press to the injury and annoyance of another officer.
His Excellency will, I feel assured, be as desirous as I am that the person who has committed so grave an offence should be exposed and condignly punished.
