Judge Thomas Z. Morrow,
Somerset, Ky.
My dear Judge:—

It was very kind in you to sedd me a copy
of your delightful ”Recollections of an Old Time Democratic
Mass Meeting." I received it on Saturday last, opened it
after drek and was so fascinated with it that I could not
lay it down until I had practically finished it. You have
a wonderfully graphic way of hitting off personal character—
istics. A sentence or two makes one quite well acquainted
with the person described. You introduce a-great many yer—
sonc, some of whom I knew by reyutation during the 'SO's,
and others with whom I had the pleasure of a more or less

intimate acquaintance, but all and sundry whcflvnr they may

be and whatever part they played in the great golitical

drama which was then working the country up to a bloody
solution of the slave question, each.had a dietinct and
attractive personality of his own and is made to live again
nder your inspiration. I hope that the booklet will have
a circulation commensurate with its deserts, and that you
will enjoy to the full the addres‘ to which it is entitled.
I have not had the Ileaoure of so intimate an

acquaintance with you as I ceeired, but all that I know of
you and have heard of you has only served to stimulate the
desire to know you better.

Thanking you again for the pamphlet and wishing
you a Merry Christmas and a Harry New Year, I am

With sincere regard,
Your friend,

fly dear Prof. Nelson:-

I received your letter of th 8th
inst. last Sunday. To say that I was deeply moved by it
expresses very inadequately the feeling with which it was
read. I read it aloud to Mrs. Patterson, but during th
reading of it, my utterance was more than once choked by
emotion. Your generous tribute to my work and its results
was more than I could claim. The delicacy of your express—
ion and the rare beauty of your composition heightened and
deepened the effect. Of all the letters received referring
to my prosrective retirement, I Value this the most. If my
son were living, I should leave it to him as an everlasting
memorial and as an evidence of the estimate in which his
father was held by good men.

The reference to the unfortunate differences and
consequent estrangement of years ago and the manifest dis-
position to forget and to forgive could not have been ex—

—pressed with more delicacy and dignity. For years back I

have recalled the memory of that time with regret.l Now,

however, that you have shown me how to be just, as well as
how to forgive, I trust that a new day has dawned and that
a cloudless sky will henceforth cover us.

I recall vividly the twenty-fifth anniversary
of my service to the College, to which you refer. I had

forgotten the language in which your arrreoiation was

expressed, but I had not forgotten the fervor and the
earnestness of its expression.

I cannot be sufficiently grateful for your letter.

At my age the expnctation of life is but a few years at

most. I wish to live these years in peace and charity with
all men and you have set me a noble example and have taught
me a worthy lesson. Henceforward I shall speak of you and
think of you as my friend.

With best wishes and much respect, I am

My dear President:—

I was very glad indeed to get your letter
yesterday. Mr. John Blair anAfee's address is fiChandler

address of Mr. J. Levering Jones is 705 Land Title Building,
Philadelphia, Pa;

I read with great interest and delight,
your address before the Committee at Frankfort on the
medical college situation. It sxmis to me that every time
I read anything that you write or hear anything that you say
that nothing better can be written or said, yet every time
you write or say anything else, it seems to me as if it
is an improvement on what you have written or said before.

71 am sorry that I have not seen you senoe I came back but I
have been very busy and have not been able to do so.

I udll be out just as soon as I can to see

As rreeident of the Department of Higher Education in the

kindly answer at once as to whether you can do so? I sincerely hope
you can, but i? you cannot, I have only three weeks before the bro—
gram must be printed in which to obtain a speaker. I know that no
one can give ”rem exterience more enlightenment on this topic than
yourself. I sincerely hope you will take part and come to the

Boston meeting.

Sincerely yours,

I am delighted to find on my dsak on my

return Roms the beautifully bound Oopy of the

shall always prize as a tokan of our friendship
and of your very grcat kindness to me.

I had a very ramarkable visit with the
Associated Harvard Clubs in Cleveland and had the
embarrassmant unavoidably for a man weighing 205
pounds, whan I was carried along by an cxultant
throng in a heavy ahair and gut throuHh other
antics entirely unbecoming and uncmnfortablg to

a short fat man.

 

 The Convention sang "My Old Kentucky
Home" four or five times for my benefit and
really humored and spoiled me beyend descrip—
tion. I do not think it possible that I sfiall
gver recover from the shock and get down to
ter.a firma again.
With best wishes, I am.

Yours fgithfully,

My dear Doctor,

Your circulat letter of June 17 announcing that you had formally
laid down the duties of President of the State University of Kentucky
has been received.

Permit me again to congratulate you upon your great achievements
as president of this institution. I assure you your career there is an
inspiraticn to everyone of your colleagues engaged in the important work
of administering these great trusts.

'You will have some time new to do many things which you would
like to have done while active president.

I think you did some very good work in helding up for a time at
any rate the proposition to appropriate federal money for a private insti-
tution. I hope that you will keep that matter in mind and continue to use
your influence against it. I believe one man with a little time on his
hands can absolutely defeat the measure.

Of course you will meet with us at our next meeting of the State

University Presidents in washington, when we shall take occasion to make

you a permanent emeritus member of ourbody.

Faithfully yours,

My dear Dr. Patterson:

I am just in receipt of the beautiful book—
let, giving an account of the commemorative exer—
cises of the fortieth anniversary of your presi—
dency of the University of Kentucky, and have read
with profound interest the congratulatory addresses

and your splendid response.

It is of course a very great compliment to
your wisdom and judgment to have been able to
guide the destinies of such an institution for so
long a period, particularly the period of the
greatest educational unrest in our history. This
record stands in strong contrast with the average
short term of the presiding officer and the con—
stant shifting of policies of our state institu—
tions. It is an example to which we may all point
with pride, and I most heartily congratulate you.

 

 Wishing you many years in which to enjoy the
fruits of your labors, and with kindest personal
regards, I am,

Very sincerely yours,

As soon as I could leave the city for the country I

did so to enable me to recuperate from my sickness. I returned
this morning feeling a great deal better, as a result of my rest
and throwing dull care in connection with correspondence and busi-
ness matters to the winds. In the meantime, I find myself the
recipient of a case of fine old Kentucky bourbon, which believe me
I appreciate very highly. I am sure it will prove for some time
to come a balm for all the ills to which I may be subject, thereby
proving you to be an excellent M. D. as well as a Ph.D. and an LL.D.

I do not remember ever reading the lines you quote. They
are, as you say, beautiful and I shall endeaVOr to commit them to
memory. From what are they taken? The lines from Thanatopsis
beginning "So live that when thy summons comes to join the innumer-
able caravan where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls
of death etc." have always appealed to me with great force and so-
lemnity. I have read your letter several times and have been
charmed the more each time by the beauties of expression, both in
prose and poetry. You are certainly an expert in putting together
the English language. Such reading is a delight.

I regret to hear that Mrs. Patterson has been ill, but

trust that ere now she has regained her usual health.

 

 . I am still one of the Trustees of the Civic Alliance, al-
though I have given up the Presidency. I understand that my suc-
cessor has not yet been elected, but a Committee has the matter in
charge.

With kind remembrances and best wishes for Mrs. Patterson's
full recovery, I remain,

Sincerely and faithfully yours,

Aflefi'

My dear Prof. Patterson,-

I am surprised to learn that there is any movement to supplant
Mrs. Stout. I have written two letters about Miss Hamilton, whom I
am sure deserves all that I have said of her, but I certainly should
not wish anything I have said to anybody to in any way oppose Mrs.

Stout, whom I greatly respect and like. I think is a splendid,

useful and really glorious woman and I would not : tnything do

a thing to interfere with her career, hopes or wishes.

I wish to say that your letter is the - rst I have heard of
Miss Hamilton being suggested for the chair of Philosophy — Logic,
Metaphysics and Ethics. Now, if there is any danger of any letter
written by me about Miss Hamilton being used to the disadvantage of
Mrs. Stout, I wish to withdraw it instantly. I Will not help anybody
against Mrs. Stout. She has been a very honest and kindly friend to me
and I will not be counted in any rank opposed to her. I understood
Mrs. Stout had charge of the Department of Physical Culture. I may
have heard that she was Dean of women, but I supposed that the place
for which Miss Hamilton was suggested was a new place. Miss Hamilton
is a splendid woman, a splendid teacher and will do splendidly whateVer
she undertakes.

Yours truly ,
