My Dear Dr

Your favour of the 28th ult. came to
hand this afternoon and since the next
mail does not leave until 12 o'clock
tomorrow I fear you will not get
this answer before Wednesday I regret
this delay but it is unavoidable

Your proposition relative to the
delay of your course was quite unexpected
although it has not put us
to any material inconvenience; arrangements
have already been made for
the employment of the day for the
remainder of the session - The next
term of college begins on the 10th of
May next and the senior class
continues with us 12 weeks before
they are dis[crossed out: s]missed Your lectures
should therefore if possible commence
some time in June. I have
