Freehold Institute July 17 / 48

Respected sir,

I had expected to 
hear from Mr. Prosch before this.
Has he abandoned the idea of coming 
to Freehold? We shall be disappointed
if he does not come. I think he could 
do a brisk trade here for a week or two.

As I have some young men 
who do not expect to go to college 
and who wish to look into geology a 
little I am anxious to procure some 
drawings to illustrate the subject
