Hunter Boyd Jr. to James Hugh Moffatt

Please return to JHM

Baltimore, April 24. Dear JimYour letters came last night and this morning and I enclose the results of my search. Neither the Sun nor Herald give any account of a game played June 18th 1889 and you evidently have the wrong date. The Sun of the 20th mentions the Princeton Commencement as

recurring on June 19th so it isn't likely the team played here the day before Commencement. I could find no record of a game at any time around the 19th. You will notice that I have spelled the names of some of the players differently in different games but I send them as I found them in the paper and you can make the proper conections probaby. The games I send are taken from the "Herald". It certainly is hard luck that John can't get to the Reunion and Commencement. It takes lots of nerve to isolate ones self from family and friends as he is doing for so long. I don't

envy you fellows in selecting Pop's present. I must confess that I don't like emblems etc on plates but can give no suggestion and will abide by the committee's decision. Can't you get something in the shape of a bowl - punchbowl - for the money? I haven't any news to tell as we are working hard for exams and don't have time for much else. Exams end about May 25th and I expect to go to Princeton a few days afterwards. I saw the Princeton-Georgetown game and it was simply great. I met "Deak" Chambers, Elroy Curtis and "Doc" Hillibrand; also Mr Kelly - John's father - and Bahee who went over

from here. If Rusty is following in my footsteps he is doing well as work is a good thing and keeps me out of mischief. You ask about Tommy. I heard from him over a month ago and he was grumbling at law and praying in golf. Taylor is the only fellow I've heard from lately - besides Tommy - and he is making plans for going to Princeton on the 9th of June. When do you expect to get out the book? If I can help you in any way be sure and let me know. Sincerely, Hunter Boyd Jr P.S. The next time you send four cents worth of mail with a twocent stamp I will send the due stamp back C.O.D. H.B. Jr
