"I...READ THE RIOT ACT AS YOU SUGGESTED"
An apologetic letter to a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy: "...I beg to say that upon inquiry I learned that a party of Newspaper People from the different Boston papers had made arrangements for our stage coach with a few out-riders for effect, just for a little past time of their own. I called up the out-riders and read them your letter and read the riot act as you suggested. I regret very much your accident and hope ere this reaches you, you will have forgotten the sad experience of your misfortune..."
