(To the Editor of the Evening Star.)
Sir,—l do not think that your new correspondent " My Namesake '" had any just cause to be seriously alarmed about confounding our identity. I have been one of your correspondents for about ten years, and am also very well known in this place. But my " Namesake " is comparatively a stranger, and would need to form a character before he can lose one. Your new correspondent says that he has not the slightest affinity of-thought or action with Simon the Sorcerer. If he meant tbis to apply to me, I should look at it as an insult given in a dark, sly, insinuating way. To me it would be Serious to be taken x for this person who has no character as yet, being only a stranger. I hare been in this place now for twelve years, laboring to form one straightforward, consistent character.. I do not think it will be blasted by one foul breath from a stranger. He says, " It assumes a serious instance ofmietaken identity." How it can be so very serious for him, I completely fail to see —I am, sir, your old correspondent,
J. HOEN.
February 4, 1881.
