Mr. J. C. Griffin
Dear Sir:
Your note inclosing copy of letter of invitation to Sir Chautung Lieng-Cheng has just found me here where I have come for the Easter vacation. There is only one question in my mind about the note of invitation. I am not President of Adelphi Academy and the Commencement to which the Chinese minister is invited is the Commencement of Adelphi College of which I am the President. The Academy Commencement is a different affair, coming two days later.
It has seemed to me that possibly the Chinese Minister might be more interested in an invitation to appear at a College Commencement than in a summons to an Academy Commencement.
If you see Gov. woodruff you might ask him whether it is worth while to correct the mistake or you might get a copy of the College catalog from Mr. J. G. Ewing. Adelphi College, Brooklyn & send the catalog to Sir Cheutung with a suggestion that he may be interested to see the catalog of the institution in which Gov. Woodruff is interested and from which the invitation comes.
Yours Very Truly
Charles H. Levermore
