Rev? J. H. Raymond LLP
My dear friend,
Yours of the 8"th Current lies before me,
.......""''
and I am free this morning from protracted calls to answer it-
Yesterday we counted 20 visitors to our Cottage, throt: the day and
r
evening, and the residue of the week is pre-engaged. Prof,. Brown
of "Dartmouth" with "Farrar" call yesterday, on going back to the
College found a host of Strangers waiting an entrance, alth. our
Posted Bill Notices on the Gate Lodge precluded visitors without per-
mits .
You are in receipt it seems of a Letter from Prof. Farrar. I am
glad to hear that the spirit of it meets your approbation, nevertheless
he with all other solicitors for post and places are in your hands.
He goes up to-day to see the "Dudley" "Observatory" will be
home to Night.
Matters & things goes on more smoothly at the College. You
say you feel at times "impatient" to get through the hardest of all
"work" doing nothing "---thats a good symton with the Doctors, their
patients is getting better and will recover, Time is usualy tedious
when the mind is not harmoniously employed- Your "inspiration"
will quicken as your "task" approaches.

I hope your tarry at "Angellica" will not stop your heard from
growing, if it does tend among a people of unappreachable task to
"rust instead of resting you11,
I suppose you will be going out to the approaching 100H1 Anni-
versay of "Brown11 University," so old an Institution of Learning and
cherrished mainly by Baptist cannot but inlist the interests of all of
that denomination and all other friends of schoolastic, and Minis teral
Education. if it were possible I would liked to have accompanied
you.
1 am afraid you are suffering yourself to be too much used as you
say you get but little "rest11. I therefore protest in the name of our
College against such draughts on your time.
Yesterday was the hotest day we have had this season, the heat
was almost unindurable, but is cooler this morning and clouding up for
Rain- Your Letter address^ to M.V. Ch. of the Ex Com &c will
be laid before them Monday next. You may anticipate the request &c.
But I must close as Doct Babcock is waiting to go with me to the
College to see Library Room now being shelved &c
May the blessing of God rest upon you. Our united regards to
M. L. R# We shall be looking for you at the appointed time.
Yours very truly
