Mar. 2, 1860,
Hon. Wm. A. Graham
Dear Sir,
Enclosed I send you a plan of a Belfry, drawn by
Mr. Coates, which he says, can be
carried out on the top of the
South Building
. He has examined the 4th
Story &c & gives it as his opinion that the Bell can be placed there
without endangering the walls. The cost will be about $1050, while a
suitable Belfry on the ground, according to his estimate will cost from
$1200 to $1300.— The Faculty (with the exception of
Gov. Swain
) have, by vote, recommended that the Bell be
placed on the top of the
S.

But as the expenditure for this object
exceeds the limits contemplated by the
Building Committee, when they directed that the
Bell should be suspended in a proper place in the Campus, I have referred the
subject to you for instructions.
