My Dear Govr.,
I recd. yesterday your note & a copy of the
Faculty's proceedings in relation to Profr.
Hedrick

, all that relating to Bishop Hughes was expunged & the disclosure sent to the
Standard for publication.

for the Ex.
Committee

containing 15 ½ closely
written pages on the laxity of discipline in the College, how a University
ought to be managed, & how this is
not
&c., &c., &c.

The Gov. also handed me a letter which he had recd. from
Hedrick
in explanation & exculpation of himself
& letting him know that he was a good Democrat & had voted
the Dem. ticket in Aug. last.
in explanation & exculpation of himself
& letting him know that he was a good Democrat & had voted
the Dem. ticket in Aug. last.Your suggestions are good & were approved by those Gentlemen above
named. Nothing will be done with him till after the election. If he does not
resign the Board will take him up next winter & cut his head
"clean off" but so as not to suffer the blood of martyrdom
for opinion's sake to decorate & adorn
his garments.

He will be driven off as unworthy to hold an office in an Institution whose
image & practices he has so grossly & injuriously violated.
The Executive Com. will meet again on Saturday
next (11th) by which time I shall hope to have the
Faculty's answer to the "Red Republican" & the
copy of the journal which he complains of.
I am Dear Sir
Very, truly yours,
Dr. Wheat
has withdrawn his notice of resignation, but I suppose you know that
of course.

There is a report on the street that the Students intend to tar &
feather Hedrick
. I hope & trust they will do no such thing.
Their indignation meetings, burning in effigy &c. is a sufficient
demonstration. It would be dishonorable & cowardly to do him
personal violence. It would be undignified & disgraceful to get up a
college row & tumult. They would thereby injure themselves & no one else.
