Mausur to Mr. Tachan, February 17, 1875

Mr. Mausur to Mr. Tachan.

Mr. J. H. Tachan:

Your letter was handed to Colonel J. L. Haynes, who has written most of the editorial for my paper during the last two years. He has always been on the side of the Mexicans. I never have, and cannot understand his reasoning; and the reason I publish his articles are, first, I hold a federal appointment under him; and, second, I have not paid for my paper in full. I have always been on the side of the Army, even while not one officer in ten nor one soldier in fifty, stationed here give me any material support.

Trusting that you and the gents who composed the jury will understand me, I remain, respectfully, &c.,
