June 7th
Commencement Day! Three seniors! Gov Vance
is here
— delivered an admirable address on "The duties of
defeat." Bro. Charles
preached the Vale. sermon, said to
be a remarkably good one. A large crowd here many young ladies. Everything went
off well. Vance's
coming was a good thing. I hope it may be one of the helps to do
away the prejudice existing at present against the University & the Faculty.

Summer vacation! How much of listless ease & vacuity of thought
& action lies in those two words. Three weeks are gone before one knows
it — & nothing done of the many things postponed to be done
at this time. We have had three or four long letters from Ma — describing her visits in & around N.Y. Kindly
received everywhere & enjoying much.
