To the PROPRIETORS and POLICY-HOLDERS in the

. -
Gentlemen,
THE Proprietors and Policy-holders in the above
Society are respectfully informed that the advertisement for
a Meeting to dispose of, or to dissolve, the Society is issued by the
Directors in consequence of a Requisition signed by a large body of
Proprietors, expressive of the sentiments of three-fifths of the
entire body, calling a Meeting to remove certain of the
Directors from their office. The Society, if under a manage-
ment possessing the confidence of the Proprietary, was never
In a more promising condition, and it only remains to remove
the present obstacles to its progress to make it one of the largest
and most successful offices of the day. On behalf of three of
the Directors, and three-fifths of the Proprietary, I respectfully
request that the Policy-holders and their friends will put the proper
construction on the motives of those Directors who have got up the
requisition, and sailed the meeting to dispose of, or dissolve, the
Society.

N.B. The Deed of Settlement requires four-fifths of the votes of
qualified Proprietors to dissolve the Society, whilst Proprietors
representing three-fifths of such votes have already signified to the
Directors their wish for their retirement, and their determination
to maintain the integrity of the Society.
1 am, Gentlemen, your:most obedient humble servant,
JOHN L. EVANS, Secretary to the Committee of Proprietors.
