Abstract
Linus Child, Trustee of Amherst College, letter to College President Heman Humphrey in which Child responds to a letter from Humphrey informing him that Professor Warner (Aaron Warner) has consented to accept the chair of Professor of Rhetoric at Amherst College. Child also writes regarding other information Humphrey provided, namely that Mr. Barnes would decline the office of the President if it should be offered to him. He explains his delay in responding to this, mentioning Armstrong (presumably Samuel T. Armstrong) during his explanation. He goes on to say that he feels that they should desist from making any further attempts to select a new President as they have already made enough unsuccessful attempts to do so. It has been determined that Mr. Barnes is Albert Barnes. The letter is pasted onto another piece of paper with an unattributed note at the top.
