1 I have strong hopes that I will be enabled to induce a large 1
Q number of our liberal Donors to turn over, in the same way, 1 '
1 Coupons for which they have no special use,ithus enabling them  
Q to make their donations duplicate themselves in doing good.  
1 As stated before, the great and pressing Hnancial want is more  
Y money for Buildings and Endowments. To this end I will give  
1 my utmost efforts in the future, as I have done in the past.  
1 The prospects before us are flattering in this respect. After  
·_ 1 II the political storm which is brewing over us is past, I think I 1
¢ can do much. I have never found the public confidence and 1
sympathy so strong for the Institution as at present, or the  
1 people more ready to give than I found them in the few trips I 1
1 was enabled to take during the past year. There is a large   1
  portion of this State which I have not yet been able to canvass, 1 ·
  and the field is widening out into other States. But I hope, by  
  the noble generosity of individuals who have been abundantly   1
1   `, blessed with the means, funds for Endowments and Buildings   1
I 1 will begin to flow in, as they are doing to other Institutions, 1 i
  and save me from wearing myself out so rapidly in the labo- 1
1 rious, unpleasant, unthankful work of soliciting and collecting 1 .1
¥ these subscriptions, as I have been doing f`or about thirteen  
years. I have but one rest which I look for on this earth, 1
i which is to have the means placed at my disposal, and to be  
1 permitted to spend the balance of 1ny years, in improving our 1 »
1 Estate, and organizing and concentrating upon it all the 1  
, 1 1 Colleges of a complete University. May God grant that you 1 1
i ‘ and I may live to see these great results. *
1 I submit herewith the f`ollowing tabular statement, to which 1 =
