wrong and injure the character of the committee by requiring them to
sign the paper that has been prepared. We think this would be injurious
to them, and two wrongs never did make a right.

Our view, therefore, is that this matter should be arranged
so as to correct whatever evil may have been done by the circulation of
this printed document, and at the same time not injure the men who
audited the books and who made the report from the books as they found
them. In making this statement we do so on the presumption that the
report of this auditing committee was a truthful report according to the
best information within their reach.

Respectfully, your Brethren,
