Abstract
W.B. (William Barron) Calhoun, Trustee of Amherst College, letter to College President Edward Hitchcock in which Calhoun responds to a letter from Hitchcock concerning the College presidency. Calhoun states that he has impressions concerning the fair condition of Hitchcock's health and the improved condition of the health of the College under the treatment of the State, and so he trusts that Hitchcock has abandoned the idea of quitting his post. He goes on to write regarding the Observatory at Amherst, mentioning a mechanic, J.B. Allen, and Professor Snell (Ebenezer Snell). Calhoun also writes about getting Professor Shepard (Charles U. Shepard) to deliver the annual discourse before the Agricultural Society on October 7th. The letter is pasted onto another piece of paper with an unattributed note at the top.
