If you have not means at
command, I beg to suggest, this
is of sufficient importance to warrant
an especial meeting of
the Regents, that they may provide.

Pardon my seeming interference
in [University?] matters.
A deep interest I feel in all
connected with our state. I offer
as an apology.

May I hear from [?]
in this matter? I will be glad
to aid in any direction indicated.

Very Truly
Robt. W. Furnas
