Respected friend
My Clerk Mr  Schou handed me yesterday your note & Book
entitled "Sketches of Female Education" by Miss Moore,    I have only
had leasure to peruse a few of its pages, but even those have convinced
me that the author was a woman of superior mind and master of the Sub-
ject of which she treats.    I was quite impressed with the fact that her views
on Female Education assimulated so near to my own and which I intend to
inculcate in the College now in process of construction.    I shall pride
myself in adopting Some of her rules which is so much in harmony with
my own Scheme.    The work I shall send to the Stationery to be re=bound
ready to be placed in the College Library with the donors name written on
the fly=leave of the Book.       With many thanks for your kindness, I sub-
scribe rays elf
Yours Respectfully
