1898
In the lead-up to the June 1897 elections, Charles Boissevain, editor in chief of the Algemeen Handelsblad once more accused Kuyper of having illegally procured access in January 1886 to the annexes of the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam (see 1886.04). Deciding that he could no longer ignore such accusations, Kuyper sent a letter to the editor (see 1897.11) requesting, among other things, that Boissevain sign and return a statement on which he had listed all the charges that Boissevain had leveled against him. Kuyper would then take that list to a judge. Boissevain was not, however, prepared to sign the statement (see 1897.12). A public exchange of letters followed in which the authors set out their conflicting accounts of the background to and narrative of the forced entry into the Nieuwe Kerk. Kuyper still wanted to present the affair to a court of honor. Boissevain considered that proposal misguided as well. He finally proposed publishing their correspondence in a brochure and letting public opinion act as the jury in their dispute. He also allowed Kuyper to have the final word. Kuyper was pessimistic whether that forum would really bring the affair before the public, but he agreed to the proposal in a third and final letter, which was no less polemical than the first two.
