My dear sir,

The President has
suggested to me that I might have
the house formerly occupied by him.

I have told him that in view of the
fact that on account of my reduction
of salary I am obliged to give
up my house in town - not able
to pay for it - I should be glad to
have the house. I wanted to say
to each member of the Board, however
that I make no request for it; if
you have the house repaired and

[2]

want a professor for a tenant. I
am more than willing to occupy it.

Of course the house would have to be
considerably repaired before being
occupied by any one.

Very truly Yours

C. E. Bessey
