Armfield since the receipt of
one from Fogg. He informs me
that Fogg & Meigs, a gentleman
of high literary attainments, a
Presbyterian, a Nashville lawyer &
strong friend of our enterprise
have visited him at Beersheba
with the view of examining the
location at Sewanee. They went
all over the grounds, & their
surroundings & were perfectly
delighted with them, in every aspect,
They had a prominent McMinnville
man with them. He says they
investigated the story about {illegible underlined: with?}
{illegible underlined} & found it of course a
humbug. Armfield is entirely
satisfied & surrenders McMinnville
without a word of hesitation.

We shall have then all the
land we want & a charming
locality in every particular.
