          needed all they can lay hands on and I
 could make no satisfactory arrangement
 for the future: so in advice with one of
 the Presidential Commitee I appeal from it 
 to the Trustees.


 Yesterday I wrote to Dr L. It was my
 first voluntary communication with him
 since Commencement. I have asked him
 about my disconnection with College and
 first 'what dispositon was made of my paper
 proposing, at a future time and under
 circumstances not then determined, the
 severance of my connection with College.'
 To that communication I had received no 
 answer & wished to know if it had
 been read to the board & if so what they
 had done about the matter. If I can get
 about two letters from him. I think I may
 then get dates from others for my appeal to
 the board. I have dreaded this matter exceedingly
 and am glad that it did not
 become my duty to carry it through while
 so occupied in Cornwall. The work was
 prospering there when I left. It is now in
 charge of a very good man rather slow & dull
