I have delivered to Mr Coats, the order made by the committee at our last meeting, and received from him the enclosed check for Henderson's work, which he says will be paid upon presentation.

I passed with him through all the rooms in our new edifices and pointed out small defacements here and there which he promises to make good. I called his attention to omissions, specified in the contract, especially balustrades and outside doors which in the progress of the work we concluded to dispose with. He admitted the fairness of the claim but insisted, that extra work for which he made no charge had been performed to a muchlarger amount. The enclosed paper which you will please peruse together with this note, exhibits his view of the particulars in which he regards himself, as having exceeded as well as fallen short of the requirements of the contract. He expresses entire willingness, that they shall balance each other, and renders the schedule simply to satisfy us that he has done us in the aggregate entire justice.

I was not present the evening before commencement, when the agreement was made about the belfry and supposed his bid, to have been $1000. He insisted that it was $1125 and delivered the enclosed drawing and memorandum in evidence. I told him that I would transmit both papers to you, and reserve all questionsconnected with them, until the time his last payment shall fall due.

I am grieved to state that Prof Charles Phillips , who was just recovering from an attack of inflammatory rheumatism, was on Sunday evening prostrated with the gravel. The Dr supposes that the calculus is passing through the kidney. I hope and pray for a favorable terminate, but he is the object of deep and anxious solicitude to his friends.
