wish, therefore, all we ask is to be left alone. My report has to help to accomplish 

 this? should the worst happen, I can take a prof fesorship here. 



The courses here will start 1st of October, but only with half the faculty; the 

 natural science positions are still vacant. Among the candidates for physics is Prof. 

 Tristoe of the Univ. of Missouri. Can you tell me something about him, if so, I 

 should appreciate it. Where is your brother and what is he doing? Tell him to let me 

 hear from him, and that I am loyal to the core. What is Shumard doing now? Give him my 

 greetings. Is the Academy still floweringf 



Should you see Theodor or Rosa, give them my best greetings and tell them they 

 could write a bit more J 



Above all give my greetings to dear Dora from both of us as well as to Georgie 

 who probably has grown over your head in the meantime; and bes t greetings to you from 

 your cousin, 



Eug. W. Hilgard.
