My Dear Friend

Your kind letter came to hand the
day before yesterday. The Summer examination
closed on the Monday after your
departure The next day the grades were
made out and the class dismissed
The first man on the class was Mr Clum
the 2nd [Janover?] & the 3rd [Nelson?] who was
appointed to deliver the valedictory

Mrs Henry and myself talk of visiting
your city in a few weeks but when I
cannot precisely tell we will certainly
make your hospitable mannor our house
Mrs H will not however take the
Chickens with her.

I have done nothing [?] since
you left but attend to some account
business and [?] miscellaneous works

The Phil. Hall remains as in the same state
in which you left it. [With?] the usual promises
of action in Princeton the carpenters
have been obliged to wait for more than
3 weeks for lumber They had ceased
work except our man sometimes before
you left & have not again commenced I am
