Spencer Trask to James Hugh Moffatt

New York, December 14, 1900

James H. Moffatt, Esq., 4335 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia

Dear Sir: Yours of the 12th instant to hand. I regret that I am unable to give you any information regarding the matter therein referred to.

I had entirely forgotten the fact of the burning of the old Gymnasium. I remember very well that I was chairman of the committee that raised the funds for the equipment of the gymnasium. I very much doubt if any of the students were responsible for its destruction. As I remember it was a very cheap wooden affair, and I doubt if any one even considered it worth taking a picture of.

Regretting that I am unable to furnish you with the information that you desire,

I remain, Yours truly,

Spencer Trask
