Col Compton We are making progress with our college buildings. We are now putting up two dormitories 40 x 80 & 3 stories high. They will be splendid buildings when completed & will cost us about $20000- of which amount Mr. John C. Baldwin of Orange New Jersey has furnished us $15000- We have great reason for thankfulness, for what a good providence has done for us. We need $5000- more to complete and furnish our buildings and we hope to get it from some quarter, we know not yet whence. Give us a call when you come up this way. I expect to go West about the 20th July, & should I stop in Nashville I shall try to find you. Very truly, T.J. Lamar
