[DCRM-L] Cancellantia

[Marina Morgan]

Thank you Richard. You're right, a 500 would be more appropriate.

This is the book:
Charters and by-laws : full text of the original charters, with amendments
thereto and complete copies of the by-laws of forty-two life insurance
companies in the United States. Oak Park, Ill. : Flitcraft, 1905.
