Tom Cloney to James Hugh Moffatt

Sept 16, '00

My Dear Jim:

Your letter came while I was away, and you probably are thinking pretty mean things about my delay in answering but I hope with this explanation you will pardon me. I am sorry to say that I know nothing of any old score books. They were never handed over to me, and it is my belief that the Captains of the respective teams kept

the books. If there are any of them left, you will find them either in A University, or in the cabinet of drawers in Frank Hall's room. Very likely, however, you will get your best information from old Bric-a-Brac and Princetonians Their scores were usually coppied from the regular book. Joe Murray has a lot of little white pamphlets in his office, containing a lot of Princeton records, etc., and he himself knows nearly every score Princeton ever made. He will be a mighty good man for you to stand in with. You will

find him a splendid fellow in every way.

I have just returned from a ten days visit with Stump Stuart, in Charlevoix, Mich. Freddie Douglas was up there, and we met many Princeton men, of different classes. A big time was on tap, you may be sure. [Bummy ?], the rascal, went through Chicago instead of here, and I am now on the trail of his scalp lock. As you imagine, there are not a great many fellows running round loose out here. You will probably find out all the news when the fellows gather to open

college this Fall. Please say Hello for me to all of them.

I have not yet gone to work, but expect to soon. Think I shall start in a lumber mill in Seattle Wash; with the prospect of selling lumber in China & Japan, as soon as they are settled down a bit.

I wish you every success in all your undertakings, old man. I am confident you will have a great future. Let me hear from you, when you have a spare moment.

Yours faithfully, Tom Cloney.
