1898.28
[Statement and defence.] In: Algemeen Handelsblad 71 (1898), no. 21988, August 12, 1898.
Dated: Amsterdam, August 10, 1898.

First line of this public statement: Voor ik naar New-York scheep ga, een kort woord van opheldering en verweer. [Before I embark for New York, a short word of clarification and of defense. A clarification concerning his departure to the USA while Princess Wilhelmina was just about to be crowned Queen of The Netherlands (Amsterdam, September 6, 1898); see also 1898.08.

The defence deals with slander inflicted to Kuyper and his son Guillaume (see 1973.01). His son ought to have failed to pass an NCO exam, but owing to Kuyper’s intervention he passed the exam evertheless. As a provoked father Kuyper fiercely opposed this defamation and also included a piece of evidence.

The statement and the attached defence arrived on August 11 at the editorial office, and were also published in Rotterdamsch Dagblad 4 (1898), no. 1051, August 13, 1898.
