Printed 112 years ago today in The Seattle Star. Image cleaned up, especially on the letters, see the original.

Found on the Library of Congress site. Feel free to pick something from there and post it yourself!

My guess is that True is objecting to someone using the passive voice: having borrowed his umbrella without asking and then returning it without taking responsibility, insinuating that persons unknown are to blame for the inconvenience that he is now taking the credit for remedying.
