gested that if he agreed to your proposal Tor m-
tual examination we could then at once proceed to
look over together such portion Of his examination
as he had made, and then proceed together in CON
tinuiDg it. This he declined to do stating that, In
fact nothing had been done. then asked him 4
he replied % shas he was was uRndeeided upon that
point and desired to await the Presidents
the President was daily expected, but if he did
not return in three days he would decide and advise
you at the expiration of that time. He said that
the law of this State required annual examina-
tion of its domestic companies but had not been

duty to examine the Union Mutual not only on this
account, but because so long time had elapsed
since any examination had been made OF this the

of similar character he closed our interview by
saying that he would consider whether he would
permit the cooperation of the Massachusetts de-
partment in his examination and advise you at an
early date. He also wished me to wire him on my
return as to whether you would at once proceed
with an independent examination should he decline
to cooperate. As was instructed in your letter
