Judge Thomas Z. Morrow,
Somerset, Ky.
My dear Judge:—

It was very kind in you to sedd me a copy
of your delightful ”Recollections of an Old Time Democratic
Mass Meeting." I received it on Saturday last, opened it
after drek and was so fascinated with it that I could not
lay it down until I had practically finished it. You have
a wonderfully graphic way of hitting off personal character—
istics. A sentence or two makes one quite well acquainted
with the person described. You introduce a-great many yer—
sonc, some of whom I knew by reyutation during the 'SO's,
and others with whom I had the pleasure of a more or less
intimate acquaintance, but all and sundry whoever they may
be and whatever part they played in the great political
drama which was then working the country up to a bloody
solution of the slave question, each.had a dietinct and
attractive personality of his own and is made to live again
under your inspiration. I hope that the booklet will have
a circulation commensurate with its deserts, and that you
will enjoy to the full the address to which it is entitled.

I have not had the Ileaoure of so intimate an '
acquaintance with you as I desired, but all that I know of
you and have heard of you has only served to stimulate the
desire to know you better.

Thanking you again for the pamphlet and wishing
you a Merry Christmas and a Harry New Year, I an

With sincere regard,

Your friend, ‘

I My dear Prof. Nelson:-
' I received your letter of the 8th
‘ inst. last Sunday. To say that 1 was deeply moved by it
; expresses very inadequately the feeling with which it was
read. I read it aloud to Mrs. Patterson, but during the
‘ reading of it, my utterance was more than once choked by
. ‘ emotion. Your generous tribute to my work and its results
was more than I could claim. The delicacy of your express—
ion and the rare beauty of your composition heightened and
deepened the effect. Of all the letters received referring
to my proerective retirement, I Value this the most. If my
~ son were living, I should leave it to him as an everlasting
memorial and as an evidence of the estimate in which his
.' . father was held by good men.
. The reference to the unfortunate differences and
consequent estrangement of years ago and the manifest die-
: position to forget and to forgive could not have been ex—
E —pressed with more delicacy and dignity. For years back I
a have recalled the memory of that time with regret.l Now,
E however, that you have shown me how to be just, as well as
E how to forgive, I trust that a new day has dawned and that
a, a cloudlees sky will henceforth cover us.
K: I recall vividly the twenty-fifth anniversary
E of my service to the College, to which you refer. I had
E. forgotten the language in which your aprreolation was

expressed, but I had not forgotten the fervor and the
earnestness of its expression.

I cannot be sufficiently grateful for your letter.
At my age the expnctation of life is but a few years at
most. I wish to live these years in peace and charity with
all men and you have set me a noble example and have taught
me a worthy lesson. Henceforward I shall speak of you and

7‘ think of you as my friend. .
With best wishes and much respect, I am

i that nothing better can be written or said, yet every time
you write or say anything else, it seems to me as if it
is an improvement on what you have written or said before.

J7 dear Professor And Old Friend:—

Sone time ago I wrote you a hurried letter, or rather
dictated it, and since have learned that by a singular mistake
it was directed to Frankfort, instead of Lexington. At tin
same time a volume of bound up articles was so misoent. On dis—
covering this I wrote to the Postmaster and also to the Express

.'. office at Frankfort to forward.t;n matter to YuU at Lexington,
and euﬁdose it not been done-

I now wan: to tell you how much I enjoyed the pamphlets
you so kindly sent me. ”he historical part of mint address I
followed with great interest, as I had Knowledge of it at tne
time of your great struggle for the very life of the now great
and ever atoning educational institution. I know that I ma not
mistaken'vhen I say that the life of the institution in due to
your masterly arguments and efforts. I thought so much of them
as to have them bound in a volume with other papers which 1
valued. I feel that I am in a remote way in touch vitn Unit is
and will be the great educational institution of Kentucky.

you can, but i? you cannot, I have only three weeks before the bro—
gram must be printed in which to obtair a speaker. I know that no
one can give ”rem exocrience more enlightenment on this topic than
yourself. I sincerely hope you will take part and come to the
Boston meeting. .

- shall always prize as a token of our friendship
I and of your very great kindness to me.
' I had a very remarkable visit with the
. Associated Harvard Clubs in Cleveland and had the
embarrassment unavoidably for a man weighing 205
:. pounds, when I was carried along by an exultant
i throng in a heavy chair and put throueh other
antics entirely unbecoming and uncmnfortable to
a short fat man.

 The Convention sang "My Old Kentucky
Home" four or fiv: times for my benefit and
really humored and spoiled me beyend descrip—
tion. I do not think it possible that I sﬁall
- ever recovgr from the shock and get down to
terra firma again.

, My dear President Patterson: I

Your circular letter announcing your resignation of the presidency I

of the university of Kentucky has been received. I am very glad for your own
” sake that you have laid down the arduous duties of the presidency, but I can

assure you that you will be greatly missed by the members of our national orjan-
ization.

You have done a great work. Combined with broad scholarship, you
are endowed with sane judgment and enough of the political instinct to enable you
t( handle men individually and collectively in a very successful manner. Those
of us who are in a position to agpreoiate the work of managing a state insti—
tution during its primitive period understand full well your rare ability, but
above all, we recognize in you a man of truly genuine character. May you live '
many years and enjoy the fruits of your labors.

With kindest yersonal regards, I am

Very truly yours,

My dear Doctor,

Your circulat letter of June 17 announcing that you had formally
laid down the duties of President of the State University of Kentucky
has been received.

Permit me again to congratulate you upon your great achievements
as president of this institution. I assure you your career there is an
inspiraticn to everyone of your colleagues engaged in the important work
of administering these great trusts.

'You will have some time new to do many things which you would
like to have done while active president.

I think you did some very good work in helding up for a time at
any rate the proposition to appropriate federal money for a private insti-
tution. I hope that you will keep that matter in mind and continue to use
your influence against it. I believe one man with a little time on his
hands can absolutely defeat the measure. ,

Of course you will meet with us at our next meeting of the State
University Presidents in washington, when we shall take occasion to make
you a permanent emeritus member of ourbody. I »

Faithfully yours,

My dear Dr. Patterson:
I am just in receipt of the beautiful book—
let, giving an account of the commemorative exer—

_ cises of the fortieth anniversary of your presi—
dency of the University of Kentucky, and have read
with profound interest the congratulatory addresses
and your splendid response. ‘

2 It is of course a very great compliment to
your wisdom and judgment to have been able to
guide the destinies of such an institution for so
long a period, particularly the period of the
greatest educational unrest in our history. This
record stands in strong contrast with the average
short term of the presiding officer and the con—
stant shifting of policies of our state institu—
tions. It is an example to which we may all point
with pride, and I most heartily congratulate you.

 Wishing you many years in which to enjoy the
fruits of your labors, and with kindest personal
regards, I am,

. Very sincerely yours,

with great regret thatl learn that the State University of
Kentucky is going to lose a man who has been so strongly
instrumental in building up the University to the true pre—
eminence which it at present occupies. I congratulate you
most heartily upon the splendid work that you have done for
your state and trust that your successor may be able to measure
up to the standards which your life has set for the institution
which you have so paithfully served.
All future communications wil be addressed as you
‘ request to Judge Henry S. Barker.
Very truly yours,

My Dear Sir:»
I have your letter of the 25rd,and have carefully noted
i its contents. ‘

I am very heartily in sympathy with you in your apprehensions ex—
pressed in it. It would be very unfortunate for the University to take
any backward ate: after you have so carefully advanced it along the line
of sound learning. You may rely on me in co—operating with you in any
effort you may make looking to keeping the University up to the standard
you have prescribed for it. This,both as to the chair of philosophy and
that of history. I will be glad to oo—operate with you in a called
session of ttr board, or in any other way your wisdom may dictate.

With high regards,

Yours very truly,

As soon as I could leave the city for the country I
% did so to enable me to recuperate from my sickness. I returned
a this morning feeling a great deal better, as a result of my rest . ,
i and throwing dull care in connection with correspondence and busi- 'k

‘ recipient of a case of fine old Kentucky bourbon, which believe me
i I appreciate very highly. I am sure it will prove for some time
4‘ to come a balm for all the ills to which I may be subject, thereby
, proving you to be an excellent M. D. as well as a Ph.D. and an LL.D.
