To the editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
Dear Sir: I notice in the Prince William Advocate an extract taken from your paper, in which it is alleged upon the authority of persons living in the neighborhood of Nokesville, that the late difficulty between Mr. Bunn Grigsby and the Messrs. Marsteller has been settled. The former was compelled to sign a paper and to submit to a severe castigation, but the latter afterwards gave up the paper and expressed regrets for acting so hastily."
We respectfully request that we may be permitted through the medium of your paper to say that no such settlement as above stated, nor has any settlement whatever of the said difficulty been effected. Very respectfully,
I. A. MARSTELLER & BRO.
Nokesville, Pr. Wm. co., Jan. 24.
