Scope and Contents Mr. Schuabb did not give him McMaster's letter until after the meeting and he did not read it until the next day. The meeting was not too successful, since many were deterred from attending because of threats of disturbance by soldiers which were circulated by the malignant. Schuabb's speech was not as good as he is capable of since the managers had promised the hall to the soldiers for barracks at ten o'clock. The arrangements were apparently made without concerted action and the...
