Aug. 13, 1930. r. 0. no Solinger 150 77. 79th St. New York City, New York. 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?
