Springside. -- Po
October 3?.  1867.
My dear Mrs Hale
I duly received yours of the 30..   ulmo, with Enclosures,
and think with you that the October No, not finding its way into the.LadyJL
Book for that month is no disadvantage, they tally well together in one
issue for November. --
You ask me if our College is full?    I answer Yes, at least as full
as convienant for the first weeks opening-   Our Register numbers to
yesterday 374,--     We need all the Margin (400 being our maximin) for
odds and ends, strangers coming from a graat distance---   Yesterday we
had 2 from Colorado, 1 from Sidney Australia.
I feel equaly happy with you that the obnoxious word or title to our
College has been expelled, and can now be looked upon in front of the
Edifice with pleasurable emotions;   I think if your eyes could behold it
now in all its inner and outer Glory it might (who knows) work a miraclous
cure for them, at any rate I should like to see the experiment tried &c. --
But to be more soberly serious, what would be the probable expense for
Wood-Cuts full sise of the Ladys Book sheets, illustrating the College
Building-- 4 Corridors-, Gymnasium, Observatory Buildings, & Riding
School, for one Insertion in some future issues, if not too inconvienant
sise & expensive I would lay the same before our Executive Committe at
342

thier meeting on the 18-^ current.
I were glad to hear that your eyes were better and do pray that
both them & your health may be long spared you --   My health has not
not
been ver/y good for the last 2 or 3 weeks, and have been out doors for
several days-
I remain Dear Mrs. Hale
Truly your friend
