          Mr Williams the bearer is a methodo-congregationalist
 Clergyman from Illinois. He can answer many
 questions about the destitute west destitute of the 
 desire for a good university as wall as of means
 to maintain one. He is a plain excellent man &
 has done some good.


 Our Mission Institute has been incorporated under
 the name of Adelphia Theo. Sem. It has done much
 good & promises much more. My services there
 close 11 April. For 5 months I receive $60 & board. I
 could have made more but they could not have
 given more. The labors including the efforts necessary
 to receive an incorporation have worn on me. 
 At present my nervous system is quite prostrated.


 Yours in haste


 I F Holton


 P.S. Remember me to Mrs. T & my dear old playmates
 Tell them I want to hear "Who loves me best" again I
 have enquired for it dilligently in vain.
