35^ MICHIGAN STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE 



FROM DOCTOR EDWARD EVERETT HALE 



My dear Sir: I am one of the few people who remember 

 with interest the establishment of the Agricultural College. 

 I have followed its honorable history with pride and pleasure. 

 I am honored and gratified by your invitation. But I am sorry to 

 say that I have already made appointments for that week which 

 compel me to decline attempting the service which you propose. 



I told Senator Burrows that I hoped I could arrange to come. 

 But this proves to be impossible. 



Truly yours, 



Edw. E. Hale 



1748 N Street, N. W., Washington, D. C.
