George Long, Antient languages.

George Blaetterman. Modern do

Thos H. Key. Mathematics.

Charles Bonnycastle (son of the Mathematician) Nat. Philos.

Robley Dunglison Anatomy Etc

this last wishes to add Chemistry to his lectures, which we may well agree to as we are not well prepared for Anatomy. Gilmer expected them to arrive 10. days after him but does not say where. we shall advertise the Dormitories as soon as they arrive. the Hotels are all engaged. there were numerous applicns for them.

Affectionate salutations.
