OF more intelligent legislation. Our
laws are too hastily prepared and pass
ed by our legislators, many of whom
have no knowledge whatever of GRIM

Court every term, cases of a more SER
iOus nature than the offenses provided
against by our Acts of Assembly,
thereby necessitating the cumbersome
practice under the common law. There
fore, l can see the great benefit to be
derived through an organization such
as you mention. l will give an or
ganization of this character my full
support. Any date will suit me. l beg
/ to remain.
Yours very respectfully,
