My Dear Dr

I have just heard to day in faculty
meeting that the house now occupied by Professor
James Alexander will be to rent the next year
and also the house now occupied by Mr [Smith?]
the old [voorhees?] house opposite Mrs Gibsons -

I have thought that perhaps one of these
will suit your family better than the [Byard?]
house. I informed Mr Dod that you
had concluded to take the house but
should you think fit to change your mind
he would perhaps have no objections to
release you from the engagement I say
perhaps because I have not had any
conversation with him on the subject.

I am now in the midst of my lectures
and have such an arrangement of the
course as to give me the principal part
of my labour in the winter. The college
appears in good condition nearly 70 new
