My Dear Senator; I have to acknowledge the receipt from you of a check for $7,000.00 payable to the order of President O. B. Cheney - for the benefit of Bates College. I appreciate your noble generosity to this struggling college in my state, and also the delicate and exceedingly pleasant compliment paid me, in making me the vehicle of your splendid gift, and in doing so, with words and expressions, in your letter, so very agreeable to me, personally.

I have this day enclosed the check to Mr. Cheney, and

undoubtedly he will acknowledge it gratefully.

The gift will make him the happiest man in America.

What a blessed thing it is that the Dear Lord, who has dealt so bountifully with you in material things, has also endowed you and your dear wife with generous hearts, and earnest purposes, to do with his gifts to you, the greatest possible good to the world. Again, thanking you. I am, Gratefully yours, [W.P.Frye?]
