[40] In reply to a query addressed to Mr. Neal, who is still living at Portland, Maine, as to whether this letter was a bona fide communication, that gentleman says: "It was an actual communication from a correspondent. Who that correspondent was, I never knew, but I never entertained a doubt, and, in fact, find such internal evidence of good faith, that I should never question the facts set forth."
