The following letter addressed to the chairman
of the Q.Q.C.C. was read.
Dear Sir,
    Allow me in a lucid moment to protest
against the majority definition of Natural
Law to which at the last meeting I was [basely]
[bamboozled] into subscribing. I [submit] that
law cannot be a property & it is simply the
order in which [events] occur. In other words
this sequence of phenomena. - Allow me also
to record my definitions for this evening.
Sense - the faculty by which truth is perceived.
                                                    Paulatim
It was resolved that this letter be entered in
the minutes book, coupled with a protest from
the members present against the language
[??] in the letter.
