Inside I am always mixing new books and old, each exalting each.The legislature voted $180,000 to build a fire-proof for our Lib. etc.--on ground freely given--just north of the stone house (De Forest's) at the foot of University hill. All for us--not for the Univ.I have not only preached several times, but have lectured in the University--the last flare up of the candle."What I most thank God for is ability to read or write all my waking hours--and friends on every side who make Madison as sweet to my soul as in its first verdure it is restful to the eye.The grace of Heaven.
