“It is absolutely essential to imme

terminated without unnecessary delay,
but it is my desire that the assets of

control of the creditors until all cred
itors l»e paid in full. My Individual
properly, real and personal, will be
pledged to such payment of 100 cents

my energies will be devoted to this

the co-operation of the managers of
Hie various stoics, nearly ell of whom
are receivers. If the receiverships ar«
promptly terminated 1 am hopeful
these managers will unite with mo in
keeping the coat of the receiverships
at a minimum. 1 am willing to be re

determine from time to time, without

“The record of the lsst ten month®
demonstrates the ability of the com
bined retail stores to earn interest on
the total indebtedness of the stores
and of The H. 1,1. Claflin Uompaiv,
and their rapidly increasing business
gives me absolute confidence in their
ability, also, to make gradual provts
lon for the payment of the principal.
A sacrifice of the retail assets now
would be disastrous both to note-hold
ers and to other creditors. The niton
ishing shrinkage in such assets shown
in the recent closing of large stores tn
this city furnishes evidence of the
cost of forced liquidation. I deeply
regret the necessity of material delav
m payment, but in this way alone can
creditors be paid in full,
