The first letter is addressed TO the
Good People of Pittsburg," and says:
An opportunity to retire from buSi-
ness came to me unSought, which |
considered it my duty to accept. My
resolve was made in youth to retire
before old age. From what | have seen
around me l cannot doubt the wisdom
of this course The Fathers
in olden days taught that a man
should have time before the end of
his career for the making of his SOUL
l have always felt that old age should
be spent, not as the Scotch say. i'll
making mickle mair." but in making
good use of what has been acquired,
and l hope my friends of PittsburG
will approve of my action in retiring
while still in full health and vigor.
81 have more time now to devote to
the institute and to the technical
school which are in the higher domain
Of Pittsburg's life. and these l have
long seen to be my chief work: the
field in which I can do the greatest.
because the highest, good for Pitts
burg. For all these reasons,
and for another more potent than all.
viz-that Pittsburg entered the core
of my heart when l was BOY and
cannot be torn out can never be
one hairs breadth less loyal to her.
or less anxious to help her in any
way, than nave been since l could
Eelp anytning."
