Note
The necrology in the 1941 Roster gives Sullivan's birth date as 1864.
Refers to Thomas' French translation of the Society's Institution as "admirably done", but mentions that he does not "conceive the organizationof the Society exactly as you do." By way of elabloration, he explains, "The General Society passes a vote for instance, such as having an uniform eagle, but state societies disregardthe vote. We pass the rule of 1854 and Pennsylvannia [sic] disregards it. We have varying interpretations of the Institutes as to admission to membership."
Dissension regarding 1) a "Permanent Fund" so that the society might have a "decent income for publications etc." and 2) automatic advancement of general officers.
Expresses the need for a stronger General Society and observations on how decentralization developed.
He also mentions an enclosure (not present here) regarding Thomas' acceptance of the chairmanship of a sub committee not otherwised described.
