Dear Sir:
The mood I am in concerning your actions cause me to
hesitate and check my thoughts in regard to the manner in
which you have treated my faith in you and my foolish
leniency towards you. A man can be forgiven for an error in
conduct but there is no reparation for an absolute prina
facie display of failure or refunal in any manner to make
good a grossly criminal mistake,
If the plea you entered a short time ago to spare you in
behal? of an innocent mother and your earnest prayer to spare
your future honor you will answer the following state of facts
immediately by a remittance,
Here is a chap who was entrusted with the business antivi
of an institution created by two young fellows who staked
practically everything. This chap was treated more like a
blood relation or a dear old honest pal. He miscarried the
trust and honor plac d in him by misappropriating the funds
which were vital to the life of the business When avere-
henied and caught in the very act of theft, his ale listened
to his whole hearted pleas and gave him his liberty on the
promise to make good the funds stolen and mostly to defend the
mother's love which this chap grossly abused. For several
months no response has this fellow made to the good faith of
his friends.
I now ask you, are there thoughts. rotten enduth to
characterise him? Did his friends do the right thing by
society to let him loose?
