August 3, 1905
L here have already been some sixtv subscrin-
lions which came in too late and they are con
t1nuing to come in with every mail A circular
letter has been prepared, and will be sent to
these Just as soon possible. Just as the LAST
subscriptions came in with such rush that it is
physically impossible for the chairman to answer
all letters and inquiries, with the assistance
OF stenographer
One question is being asked by all: "When will
the lots be open for selection?" 1t is impossible
to answer this question now lust as soon az
the money is collected and the transfer of prop.
erty is made, survey of the lots will be begun
Dut how long it will take to do this we cannt
say at this stage. Subscribers and others mn +
remember that this has been tremendous task
and they must wait patiently on the time of the
chairman to give information
All mistakes in names, initials and titles NAV
De attributed to poor handwriting or omissions
on the part OF subscribers themselves They are
requested to correct these as they notice them in
order that the printed directory, when published
may be correct. great many preachers will
lind that Rev. has been omitted from their name
his is because it is omitted from the signature
OF their letters, and the chairman did not have
time to get up and look over the Assembly's Min
utes to ind out whether was preacher
or not In regard to the D. D., | hereby give
notice that am going to stop using them alto
gether as they are entirely too much trouble
All information possible will be published from
time to time in the church papers, and sent in
circular letters to the subscribers
Yours very truly, ...tt
J. K Howerton Chairman
