General
Miss Harper does not mention in her statement, which was forwarded at my request, that it was rumored through Lexington that a certain student had declared that he would shoot one of her pupils named Colbert, the one who it was asserted had insulted the student. On account of this rumor said Colbert left the town and is now absent. Had I have been in Lexington I would have opposed his going away, as I do not believe his life was in any peril, and presume the rumor was no better founded than the one which conveyed to my mind the idea that McNeil had been reinstated in college. Should said Colbert return I have no doubt as to his safety being as secure as my own.

Very respectfully
Your obt Servt
