on the 10th for beside the
great pleasure of meeting so
many distinguished & devoted
friends of the Church, it
would have ever been a
satisfaction to have witnessed
the laying of the foundation
stone of a university which
I trust is to be an honor
not only to the South but to
the {illegible}, -- with earnest prayers
for your success, most respectfully
