SEMI-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 353 



FROM SARAH M. ABBOT 



Widow of Theophilus C. Abbot, Professor in this College, 1858-92, and 

 President, 1862-84 



President Snyder: 



Dear Sir: It is with exceeding regret that I must decline the 

 invitation to be present at the Fiftieth Anniversary of Michigan 

 Agricultural College. Nothing could give me greater pleasure 

 than to meet once more the old students and other friends who 

 will be there, but the infirmities of old age do not permit me to 

 take the long journey. 



With best wishes for the continued prosperity of the College 

 in which I shall ever be interested, 



Very sincerely yours, 



Sarah M. Abbot
