(Copy) <br> The Board of Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. <br> 156 Fifth Avenue, New York. <br> December 6th, 1899. <br> Rev. Sheldon Jackson, D. C. <br><br> My dear Dr. Jackson; - <br> I send you herewith the form in which the proposition of the Board was finally and unanimously adopted by the Board yesterday. It differs, as you will see, only slightly in the "Second" condition and I trust that you and the other Trustees will see your way clear to agree to it. <br> It is not expected by the Board that you will use the name of Preparatory Department of the College until after such formal agreement by the Trustees. <br> I enclose also a resolution which was adopted by the Board. It is of the nature of a suggestion to the Trustees regarding the form of public announcement that has recently been made and to which some of the members of the Board felt objection. I believe this modification as suggested in the resolution will by in the interests of the college. The failure of some western schemes has made some of our moneyed men in the east conservative about the connection of real estate matters with educational projects.* <br> Hoping to hear from you soon of the acceptance by the Trustees of these resolutions and conditions and believing that it will inure to the advantage of Christian education in Utah, I am, with good wishes, <br><br> Cordially yours, C.L. Thompson, Secretary. <br><br><br> *words are illegible due to smeared ink or being cut off the edge of the page <br><br>
