Accompanying these resolutions is the following letter from our attorney; Champaign, Illinois July 19, 1930 Dr. David Kinley, President1 s Office, University of Illinois Dear Sir: I a m pleased to be able to inform you that at the meeting of the members of Roselawn Cemetery Association held last night, the resolution asked for by us in connection with the Roselawn Cemetery deal was adopted by the members of said Association by a vote of ?o to 46. I a m herewith handing you a copy of the resolution adopted by the Board of Trustees, of the Roselawn Cemetery Association, and also a copy of the resolution adopted by the members of Roselawn Cemetery Association. The Secretary of the Association has executed and has in her possession proper certificates concerning these resolutions, which will be turned over to the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois when the deal is consummated, together with a certain instrument as to ownership of stock in the Champaign Securities Company. The Paisleys have now done all that we have asked of them except to procure deeds from Bessie R. Wolf and husband and Ada M . Paisley. Mrs. T. J. Paisley informed m e this morning that these deeds will be forthcoming very shortly, and when she receives the deeds I can see no reason why the deal cannot be closed, and the deed held in escrow by Trevett-Mattis Banking Company lifted and filed for record, thus placing the title in the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. I have explained to Mrs. Paisley that she will have to bear the expense of recording the quit claim deed from Mrs. Wolf and Miss Paisley, and also the expense of recording the affidavit relative to ownership of stock on the part of Ada M . Paisley and Bessie R. Wolf. cannot see thethat Iin thecan be and heon the all that could toin in for thewith thatfactsIdeal Mr. C.arrangement do deal, satisfactory22ndcopy of this r . with I aUniversity. filesto leaving E.
