Postmaster Burgar

[Welland Tribune, 31 October 1884]

 Editor of the Tribune:

             Sir:- Last week’s Telegraph says Mr. Charles A. Clark is very wrathy because Postmaster Burgar gave me a letter belonging to him. I am personally known to Mr. Burgar, and on asking for a letter I expected, Mr. Burgar gave me one he and I both supposed to be mine, it being my address in every particular.

             He cannot be wrathy at Mr. Burgar for not knowing there were two parties of the same name in Welland, or what a letter contained. He cannot be wrathy at me because I gave him the letter and contents soon as I saw it was not mine. He can only be wrathy at his father (if he is wrathy at all) for giving him my name viz: Charles A. Clark.
