Willard for $2000 for College Building is received to-day. Your suggestions with regard to the check will be carried out. We have a meeting of the Board to-day and they will be exceedingly gratifying and encouraged when I lay before them information as to these donations of Mr. Emmerson and Miss. Willard. Permit me to congratulate you upon the pleasure it must afford you to witness these fruitions of your long labor for the college. Probably the board will take some action to day by way of resolutions of thanks to these generous donors. <br> We hope to have Mr. Bailey with us very soon and have the benefit of his counsel before we act further with regard to us if you could be present. Is it probable that you will visit the west before many weeks. With very kind regards, <br><br> Yours cordially, <br><br> Treasurer. <br><br> Enclosures. <br><br>
