My dear Mr Perry

This I have just seen. Mr. Nixon's point is to make his deed so that he, and no other Trustee, can lose his position no matter what he does. I would remove the other two Trustees only that this puts it into the Court to appoint this Board, and thus gives the mental mal-practioners a chance to influence the results. It is this class of demons who have demoralized Mr. Lang on the question of going counter to my advice and becoming the tool of Nixon, who is their mouthpieceAs Written:mouth piece. Fix it in your document so that the lot shall revert to Mr. Knapp in case the Trustees go against the interest of Christian Science. But are any terms of a deed equal to this, is not the deed final if legally drawn? In this case get some certain point in law that will cover this. A bond I prefer to a deed. Mr. Knapp will never knowingly betray our Cause or Church building into the hands of the faction in Boston. I know you will show Nixon, who is a Western sharper, and Mr. Griffin who is a nice man, I am told, that you know what you are about. Do not credit the falsehoods being told about what I say of you, for they are lies

Again Respectfully and Truly
