 To The American Committee for 
 
 Armenian and Syrian Relief 
 One Madison Avenue 
 
 New York City • 
 
 Gentlemen : 
 
 As your auditing committee named at the Annual 
 Meeting of January 22, 1918, we have caused the 
 accounts of the Committee to be audited by Hurdman 
 and Cranstoun, Certified Public Accountants, a summary 
 of whose report we submit herewith. 
 
 We have also arranged with Hurdman and 
 Cranstoun for the continuous audit and supervision 
 of the financial transactions of the Committee. 
 
 We are pleased to quote from the auditors' 
 report their certification that our "plan of credit- 
 ing every dollar contributed for relief purposes 
 has been followed" and would call special . 
 attention to the fact shown in the auditors' report, 
 that in reality we have forwarded for relief $30,537.62 
 more than we have received in contributions, the 
 difference being accounted for by interest received 
 on bank balances. All expenses of administration, 
 both in America and in Asia, have been cared for pri- 
 vately or independently of relief funds. 
 
 Respectfully submitted
