The annual income of the University
is from two sources: its invested
funds & a state appropriation.
The increase from the invested funds
is now [sic.] $20000 to $25000.
The appropriation is now $35000 having
been raised $12000 last winter.

So far as I know the legislature
has [?] yet refused a dollar asked
for by the regents!

A house can be rented for from
$30 to $50 per month near the
University, or at a distance according
to your taste. Street cars
& railway make easy access to [business?]
part of town.

We have an special appropriation of $180000,
for buildings & equipment. One building
has been erected for about $40000.
Another[,] the College of Mechanic Arts
to cost estimated $30000 is to be built
this Summer and a Science Hall
to cost at least $75000 is to be begun
& foundations laid before winter to be
completed next season. This is to contain
1 Geol. Survey Depts of 2 Geol. [?]
of 3 Zoology & of 4 Botany and this
General Museum. This building is
to be erected for the future as well as
for the present & I believe it must cost
exclusive of equipment at least $125000
