Excerpt from Report of J. N. Arnold: Commissioner to Inquire Into the Present Condition of the Governor Benedict Arnold Burial Place, and the Title Thereto; Made to the General Assembly at Its January Session, 1901

May IT please your honors z - Agreeable to a resolution passed June 13, 1900 (see Appendix A), the governor was requested to name a judicious person whose duty it should be to inquire into the present condition of the burial place of the first governor of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, with such other facts as may be thought pertinent connected therewith, and report the same to the next January session of the General Assembly, that appropriate action may be taken thereon.

Agreeable therewith the governor was pleased to name the undersigned the said judicious person, which pleasing duty he has performed carefully; and the recommendations he makes, and suggestions, are no reflection on any persons who are striving to still deface and blot out this sacred spot. He has framed his remarks as carefully as he thought the subject would bear and yet give the full facts in the case without any concealments so far as such facts have come to his knowledge.

Governor Benedict Arnold (your commissioner thinks) deserves, in view of his great and distinguished public services, a fitting recognition at the hands of the people whose cause he so ably defended in his day.
