Chancellor's Office.

Lawrence, Feb. 9th, 1886.

Prof. C. E. Bessey,
My dear Sir:

Yours of 3d was [duly?] recd.
I am sorry that the trains by which you must
come & go have such unseasonable hours.
The "Eldridge House" is our best hotel and
I will engage a room in advance for you,
and will call in the morning about 8.15
o'clk to see if you would like to accompany
me to the University. Our buildings are a
mile & a half from the [?], but we have a
street car here and a car leaves for
Univ'y hill at 8.15. If you can get your
breafast & be ready to take that car
with us you can be with us during our
session – from 9 to 1 o'clk. If I understand
the matter your lecture is to be of a
somewhat popular [?]. Now that perhaps
is not sufficiently indicated by the wording of the
subject. If you think a change in the wording
of the subject would prove more [?]
to our citizens & students please indicate a
different wording by return mail, so that
the prtion can be put out by Saturday
