To THE EXAMINING Committee OF
PLYMOUTH CHURCH, GENTLEMEN -
have received letter signed by 8. B. Hal
lidsy, Clerk, summonipg me to appear be-
fore you this evening to state the facts ''if
any" within my knowledge which tend to
sustain the allegations made by me in my
letter to the Examining Committee, to an
swer such questions as may be put to me,
and await the action of the Committee in
my case. Permit me in reply to cay that I
have very carefully read the statement OF
Mr.. s. V. Whites grievances against me
as presensed to you, and that believe !
have made full and complete answer to
the same. If, however, it is thon:ht other
wise will give the matter further atten-
tion in order to save your time as we'll az
my own, also that may make no mistake
In regard to what is now wanted of me.
will ask you to request Mr.. White to give
me in writing the exact questions hi
wishes me to answer stating that
portion of his grievances al
presented by him to you which in his judg.
ment calls for mora specific reply than
have already given. In your summons fol
this evening you state that my words and
deeds are now the subject of investigation
by your committee" Excuse me gentlemen
I thought Mr.. 3. V. Whites grievances
against me, because of my silence in the
Beecher scandal, and not my "words and
deeds " were before you.
1t has not been intimated to me before
that any other matter except these specified
grievance had been or even could now be
be considered by you. I see by your com
munication your Committee which has meyer
adopted Mr.. Whites grievances as charges
against me, and which had right to pre-
sumo was impartially hearing the matter
and advising us both, now considers that II
has put me on trial. q would like more light
on this subject and will thank you to inform
me If Mr.. White or any other person hal
been before you with new grievances OF
charges, If so, ought to know 1t. Wher
the present case Of Mr.. White is disposed
of shall be quite willing to attend to an,
other grievance or complaint, provided tht
same is properly presented.
Very respectfully,
HENRY G. BOWEN.
