Show Department of the Interior, <br> Bureau of Education, <br> Alaska Division, <br> Washington, D. C., November 21, 1900. <br><br> Rev. Josiah McClain, <br> 1248 Blaine Avenue, <br> Salt Lake City, Utah. <br><br> My dear Mr. McClain: <br> I have had a typewritten copy made of the action of the board of trustees which you sent me. Kindly compare it with the original action and if it is correct I would like to have it attested by the signature of the president and the clerk, Dr. McNiece and yourself. And returned to me.* <br> When the matter comes before the Presbytery, if the Presbytery takes action in a form similar to that of the trustees, permit me to ask that in the third "Whereas," the three words "and may never" should be left out. They do not add anything to the strength of the paper; they may or may not be true, - - - that depends upon the future; it weakens the paper to make a supposition based on the** a* future of that kind. And then, there is an unpleasant sting in it. And again, it is not true that it "appears thus** to all parties concerned," for I still firmly believe that it will in the future be worth the sum mentioned. With those words left out it makes good sense, and is reasonable. It will then read as follows: "Will not within a reasonable time be worth the sum in question." <br><br><br> * handwritten inserts in the original typewritten document <br> ** "the" is crossed out <br><br> |
