Monday. November q, l847.
Sir: You are correct in your belief, in 80 lar
as that my refusal OF the Presidency OF the Col
lese, and my resignation of the Protessorship oil
Mathe were caused by the action oil the
Visitors of the College in electing you to Pfo'
essorship therein
Now as have no desire that the consequences
OF any act OF mine should tall upon the wrong per-
son, have no hesitation to do what justice re-
oulres, and 10 CRAFTY your desire 10 know Inc
causes of my resignation, SO lar as they are per-
sonal TO yourself
Nv letter 10 the visiters contains every thihs
connected with that resignation which Is al al
personal 10 you. In that letter placed my Ieiu'
sal of the Presidency and my resignation OF The
PIofessorship upon The ground that The visIters
had appointed 10 prolessotship 10 The College
gentleman personally a; variance with me, no
wit, yourseli) a fact which believed was known
10 some, al least, CT The visi;eTs declared 1na'
ri, was my conviction, derived from consioerao!e
experience as member of the Faculty, that me
interests of the College would be most seriously
injured, il not absolutely wrecked, by The cessa'
ton OF individual cordially among its Professors
this being, in my opinion, as essential 10 us
prosperity as coincidence in official action; and
that, therefore, as claimed TO act, above all oIner
considerations, as friend OF the College, TO which
owed so much, and found myself placed in
position in which my continued presence would
not only cease TO be beneficial, but actually prove
detrimental to the College, sense OF duty COM
PEELED ME 10 Withdraw from it,"
And now, sir, that have answered strictly the
enquiry made 10 your note, choose 10 go farther
and, Tor my own satisfaction as gentleman, 10
do what in my estimation that character requires
towards one with whom | am al variance and
that is, unasked, 10 state the mere truth, and 10
do sheer justice. say, therefore, that in The per-
sona difference to which have alluded, there
was not, in my opinion, anything on either side
injuriously affecting The honor of gentleman
and that, consequently, no part of my course, in
this whole matter, has been The result OF any OBJ
! jariinn on my rnrt IN YOUR personal character.

Wing opposition meant 10 strike him down. and
has successfully turned it asainst them, when
