Overview

Excerpt from To the Public And here, before I proceed further, let me state distinctly and explicitly, that so far as my knowledge, information, or belief, enables me to speak, Mr. Bodisco has nev er in any manner attempted to control, direct, or ad vise our action. He has always expressed a lively interest in, arid been ready and prompt, as far as was in his powei, to aid in the advancement of the claims and pretensions of the heirs of General Kosciusko to the proper ty and estates which he left ln this country. But so far as my knowledge or information extends, he has not directly or indirectly interfered in any manner Withthe proceedings in the courts, or the management of the causes, except in the single instance, when, upon the application of Mr. Fendall and myself, he addressed his letter to the Judge of the Orphan' s Court. It is true, a statement was made by one of the letter writers for a New York paper, to the effect that Mr. Bodisco had endeavored to cause the arrest of this man Tochman; but the author of that letter, who I understand derived his information from Tochman himself, was afterwards fully satisfied of the falsity of that accusation. It is also due to Mr. Bodisco to state, that he has uniformly deported himself in this matter not only with the courtesy which distinguishes him 1n society, and the judgment, discretion, and dig nity which becomes his othee, but with the kindliest feelings, and the mostapparent anxiety to advance the interests of the subjects of that country which he has so long represented near our own Government.
