take great pleasure in witnessing
the laying of the first stone for
the future University: but I shall
be in attendance on the Board of
Missions, at the date you name.

Accept my best wishes. May God
grant you every furtherance in
every effort which will [?] to
His glory, and the advancement
of our Redeemer's kingdom.

Sincerely Yours,

G.T. Bedell

Rt Rev J. H. Otey
