Dear Mrs. Berkeley:

Since Louise has joined Pete in retirement, she has asked that I reply to your letter of Dec. 12. I've been sort of filling in between Archivists.

I agree with you that the letter of December 26, 1867 from the Rev. Curtis is written to Major Fairbanks, who was in charge of affairs of the University while Sp. Quintard was in England.

His letter of Jan. 22, 1868 to Bishop Green begins with "a letter just received from Mr. Fairbanks...." further supporting this.

Thank you for calling this to our attention. The enclosed memo to Dr. Gray would seem a bit exaggerated but it understandable in the disappointment of the events. From other remarks in his letters, the Rev. Curtis had pretty extreme convictions.

Please let me know if we can be of further assistance. I remember you well - live on Running Knob Lake gear your Sewanee home which I coveted at the time. With all the homes built since, housing is still a problem in Sewanee.

Sincerely yours,

Trudy Mignery
Archives Assistant
