At the suggestion of the Directors I wish to advise you of the following facts:

I spent yesterday in New York and secured positive information that Mrs. Stetson has since her return from Boston continued her malpractice and misrepresentation on what is probably a more vicious scale than at any previous time. I am informed that her animosity is directed principally at Mr. McLellan and myself and that she has treated us continually and has declared continually that we must go where we belong - "six feet under the ground."

I am reliably informed that Mrs. Stetson's present mental condition seems to be that moral idiocy and that she is spending her time in cursing those whom she considers to be her enemies and in attempting to convince the members of her church that she is being pursued and persecuted by the Directors of the Mother Church, and by Mr. McLellan and myself in particular.

It is our belief that Mr. V. O. Strickler's stand at the present time is of inestimable value in the working out of this problem and that he is entitled to protection and assistance in what seems to be a most trying position.

We give you this statement thinking that perhaps your judgment will prompt you to advise Mrs. Eddy of the situation should the proper opportunity present itself.
