Dear Sir

       President Collett arrived

home from the West Sunday Morning. Says he would be glad to see you here and hopes you will come. But he is compelled to go to New York City Thursday and will be there a few days and will return to remain at home all winter If you have not started this way please delay until I give you notice as to exact time when he will be here as I am interested in having him see you as he has much to say as to the cabinet to be purchased for the Polytechnic to be opened next Sept
