if opportunities occur, I will send off parch or single copies to
places and persons as shall seem expedient.

As to the chaplains of the Mongrel concern here. I dont know
what to call it - for I do not know what little or designation to give
to an institution compounded of a Literacy College - a Medical College & a Law
School = to a University with a Military Institute added: Let us put in
that the form of an equation. College paper, Medical law schools = University.
Add Military Institute to both sides. College + Med & L. Schools + M In = Un + In
In Inst. In = 0. Un = 0. Eng M In + U = 0. C+M+L+I+M.I = 0
As to the Chaplaincy there was a vague rumour founded as I heard upon
some opinion expressed by Ms. Webber that you would accept. I paid no
attention to it: not thinking that ou would be mixed up with
such concern. The truth is, it is a meticulate attempt to cater to sectarian
prejudices, which has once failed signally. The effort is again
made to produce something out of the various issues of the day
and this Monster I suppose some people wish you to consecrate
by acting as Priest, to give it respectability.
In consequence of the accident to James letter boy & his own necessary
absence to New York, I am staying with Henrietta, & for that reason
it was that my appointment at Franklin & Clarksville was postponed
as above stated. The child is doing as well as could be expected.
Dr. Page has again resigned tis again desirous offing re-instated .
"Intruder!" What a ridiculous farce is all this! Such is the consequence of
tying up Bps 'hands by Canons!

The yellow fever has I hear made its appearance at Memphis.
I hope to be with you by the 10 or 11th My regards to all.
Yours in Christian Confidesa Hove
