Genl
The hospital is nearly vacated; only fourteen patients remaining; every arrangement has been made there with the view of giving us immediate possession. Our Com. are making heavy outlays with the view of pushing forward our work on a grand scale. All we have done will be lost, unless some building of like proportions can be obtained. Please go to Washington if necessary to represent matters in their true light.

To retain the college hinders the progress of cause. Hostility to our work is fast dying out.

Very Respectfully
Your obdt. Servt
