Dear Miss Springer:
1 have just received your letter
of December 8, containing certain
inquiries regarding myself, and I
fill make an immediate answer.
When I was born in Smyrna, in
1860, there was, believe, no such
thing as the Smyrna High School.
My preparation for college was
made at "Felton Seminary and
Classical Institute" at FELTON,, Del
aware, which was, I believe, then
the best school of the kind in the
State. In 1877 I went, together
with certain other Delawareans, to
the University of Virginia. This
step I never have regretted, as L
found there the greatest teacher I
ever had in my academic course,
Thomas Randolph Price, Professor
of Greek, of whom 1 have been ac-
customed to say that his course
was a great course in Greek, a
great course in Greek History, a
great course in Comparative Phil
ology, and the only course in Eng
lish I ever had. Later, when I came
ito study law, was equally FORUM
ate, my preceptor being Edward
Green Bradford, Jr., later a Judge
of the United States Court, at Will
mington. In logical force and acu-
men and the mastery of legal prin-
ciples, have never known his SUI
perior. In 1885, on the suggestion
of the Hon. Thomas Francis Bay
ard, one of Delaware's greatest
sons, I entered the Department of
State, at Washington. In connec-
ton with Mr.. Bayard, would men,
ton his staunch friend, and also
mine, the Hon. George Gray.
For information as to my subse-
quent career, I enclose copy of
my sketch in who's Who"
In conclusion I desire to compli-
ment you on your handwriting,
which shows that the Smyrna
School that bears my name does
mot share the harmful delusion,
which seems more or less to pre-
vail, that bad handwriting indi-
Gates intellectually.
Very sincerely yours,
JOHN BASSETT MOORE
