NEW YORK. Dec. 10. 1873.

.. OFFICE OF THE WORLD MUTUAL LIFEl
INSURANCE COMPANY, !
NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 1878.
10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:--
The article in your columns this morning re.
specting our company and the Bund Hand-in-
Hand represents that we are In precarious con-
dtton aud that the bund has been compelled to
leave US, for It's own protection. The afidavit OF
our cashier, in supervision Of our books, now on
file In the Superior Court, shows that the bund
is in our debt over $4,000 for cash ad
have not been reimbursed, and Tor other advances
and expenses incurred In its behalf. The bund
was under contract IN writing with us to insure
its members in no other company and to remain
till 1t numbered 10000 members. 1t was allowed
favorable rates, and, as company, had certain
important privileges. The bund also agreed in
case OF difficulty or misunderstanding to refer the
matter to proper arbitration. 1t has grown to a
membership ol about !, 600 We have paid the ex-
penses OF Its incorporation and every dollar OF its
advances from the entrance OF its flrst member
till Its breach Of contract. The bund and It's off,
GERS are now seeking to 60 with our
money and to carry over the business to
ing US dollar or proposing any security whatever
suggesting any arbitration OF alleged differences
and this to the great injury OF the bund member
ship. however, much TO the advantage Of officers
was compelled TO sue out an injunction against
the bund and Others restraining the funds
in their hands, which, modified only as to its fund
for its sick and poor the Court, alter hearing
bund at great length, has so far sustained.
Whether the course which the bund has taken in
malicousy instigating the publication OF the article
In question Is worthy revenge we shall leave its
members and the public to Judge. In respect OF
our solvency we are at any time ready to answer
to our policy holders and to our friends, and to the
Department OF Insurance. we shall hardly be ex.
pected to answer the imputations OF irresponsible
parties seeking to go OF with our money. Very
respectfully, JAMES Il. FROTHINGHAM,
The New York herald., 1873-12-20
