the fact that the state had fixed on
a policy of pro rating taxes on Sc
curities held by estates OF non-resi-
dents prior to the handling Of cases
In which he Is alleged TO have col

such determinations.
The respondent respectfully shows
to the court that he believed he was
accomplishing benefits for the estate

this case was served upon him, he
submitted the charges and his cor
respondence to reputable active
practitioners at the bar In the state
OF Michigan who have advised this
respondent that they do not approve
o, the language used in his letters.
This respondent desires to rectify
any mistakes or errors committed
by him.
II had always been In the mind OF
the respondent that his skill and
experience in these matters has been
OF great benefit to each estate, where
the sum was Of any considerable
amount. This respondent believed
he was entitled to fair and reason.

In which he has been appearing and

tentions which resulted in Dement'S
