To the Editor of The Bvening Star : Sir:—n article appeared in your paper of yesterday, purporting to give the reasons which led the Postmaster General to ask for the resignation of W. M. Ireland and my- Self as clerks in the Post Office department. That article does us both great injustice, charging as 1t does that we furnished In- formation to aid in, and were directly coa- nected with, an investigation of the manage- ment of the Post ()ffice department. I have not met Mr. Holbrook, except a few times casually, since October, 1515, nor made an appointment to meet him at any lace whatever, for any purpose. I never urnisred him or anybody else with inform- ation to be used for or against the Post Ofice department and am not conscions of having failed In any respect in the performance of all my duties as an officer of that depart ment.
