To the President Kings Daughters Home for

regular physician.
We are displeased- with the practice adopted
by the present management OF mercIlessly ex-
acting every dollar obIdinabIe from the unfort-
innate poor who seek charitable assistance In
their dire distress thus making the institution
purely mercenary in The worst sense OF that
term, whereas our only object has been 10 make
IL a welcome means OF dispensing assistan ce 10
those in need OF Such aid.
We have been forced by harsh evidence TO be-
lieye that tie hospital is being managed aud
used solely 10 further the purely private pecuui-
airy interests Of few OF its officers and MEM
berS, aud without any view TO alleviate the dis
tress Of the incuIabie poor.
We are further dissatisfied with the deliberate
and unlawful act of the present officers 10 refus-
ing 10 call the usual meeting OF the members Of
the corporation for the election OF officers, which
election. according TO the bylaws should have
been held on the 2Oih day OF January past.
We are unable 10 conceive OF any worthy or
honest purpose which officers OF a corporation
ion over a corporation by thus preventing the
election OF their successors.
We depTecate also the bringing Of the lawsuit
against Mrs +. b. Grace. AS Financial SecTe-
tary, she faithfully and rlghIfully held the
books; moreover she has received a written
order from m mbers OF the corporation. who
knew that you. the President had already
altered 10 suit your own convenience every book
OF the corporation which had ever fallen into
your hands, that che was in no wise to give them
up TO you.
After making a certified copy of the member
Ship-bOOk she gave lt 10 The proper officers OF
the home IN ample time 10 have legally called the
election.
We wish moreover to state that although we
are The majority and could force you TO an cleo
ton by which We could have elected our ticket,
we feel that the whole affair pure 1t
seemed in its beginning. has become so dis.
hOnOred that we have no desire TO hold any OF
its officers or 10 ask any OF our friends so 10 do.
