Nothing from Mr. Brown
about your article. I dont believe

I did not mean to
administer a rebuke to you
in reference of the independence
of action of S. I. in regard to individuals
You had yourself requested that
your relations to University might
not affect those of S. I. I merely
commended[?] with this, and men-
tioned a general principle. Still
it would make a great difference
to them, whether they had
so pertinacious an aplicant
dinging[?] all the time in their
behalf. You were certainly right
as to the fact that your personal
solicitation got them much
they would not have otherwise
received

Truly yours,
S F Baird
