Dr. C. H. Levermore,
Adelphi College,
Brooklyn, N.Y.
My dear Dr. Levermore:
At the breakfast to President Roosevelt on Tuesday, Mr. Herman A. Metz was among those in attendance. I told him his name had been mentioned in connection with the trusteeship of Adelphi College and he immediately replied that he would like to be of service to the institution, and if he thought he could be of service in that capacity, he would be glad to do so. Of course, I did not offer him the trusteeship but only spoke of it; he is available, however, and I think he would make a good man.
I did not get back to New York until late on Monday and am, therefore, deluged with business and other matters. I have only five more days before sailing for Europe, and have just found that I must go to Albany tomorrow. I, therefore, fear it will be impossible for me to visit the College before my departure. I can meet you and some of the others, if it is absolutely necessary, before I go - possibly Saturday afternoon. I do not see how I can see you before that time and it will be difficult for me to do even that.
Hoping everything is getting along nicely with you.
Yours very sincerely, -

My dear Levermore:
I am in receipt of yours of the 3rd inst., but have not had a chance to reply to it before. It seems too bad to have the Board Meeting on Monday, the 19th, in vire of the entertainment by the Alumnae Association. I think a night later in that week could be better for me. The Englisha and European managers of this Company are coming here, one arriving tomorrow and one a week from yesterday and I must necessarily give them my attention in Syracuse. I should be there, as I wrote you, in the 19th. How would Thursday, the 22nd suit? Thursday is a pretty good night in the week and it is far enough before the Holidays, which begin on Saturday, to insure the presence in the City of all the members.
I had a talk with Mr. Starr J. Murphy. It is impossible to get him to think of serving on the Board, for reasons which I will explain to you when I see you. He was lunching with Frank Babbott and Babbott heard the conversation. It resulted in his making the suggestion that he knew a man who would be of great service to us, he thought, on the Board. He promised to see this man and let me hear from him in the course of a few days. He preferred not to mention the man's name. We then took up and discussed at considerable length, the consolidation of Adelphi, Polytechnic and Packard. It seemed to interest Murphy. He said he did not believe however, that the Rockefellers could be interest to such an extent as to warrant such an undertaking, in view of what they had to do for the Chicago University. I urged that it would not require such a tremendous expenditure as we could sell the present properties to good advantage and buy land on the Eastern Parkway. I will talk with you about this when I see you.
If you decide to have the meeting on the 22nd, or for that matter on the 19th, will you kindly telegraph to me, addressing my c/o The Smith Premier Typewriter Co., so that I can make my plans accordingly. I think it would be well to write a personal letter to all the members of the Board, urging them to attend.
With best wishes,
Yours very truly, -

My dear Dr. Levermore:
I was very sorry not to have been able to attend the meeting on Monday evening. Will try to see you in the very near future. You can imagine how extremely busy I am after an absence of three weeks from the office and for sometime before that I was unable to give much attention to business.
What is the date of Adelphi Commencement? I am planning to be away most all of June. I must spend ten days in the West on business and a week in Chicago at the Republican National Convention and nearly a week in New Have at my twenty-fifth anniversary of graduation and John's graduation. I shall make every possible effort to so arrange matters as to be present at Commencement.
Hoping everything is getting along nicely with you, I beg to remain -
Yours very sincerely, -

My dear Levermore:
I am in receipt of yours of October 8th, and agree with all you say about the consolidation of the Brooklyn Collegiate Schools. I will be on hand on the evening of the nineteenth to attend the Board Meeting.

Brooklyn, N.Y.
My dear Dr. Levermore:
I certainly think it is all right to get the Rev. Dr. Henry Van Dyke, if you can do so. He would be quite a card, I think, and it would probably be desirable to suggest to him that his expenses, etc., will be paid.
I hardly think I could get a pass to Florida although I will try to arrange it. I have always understood that it was very hard. I have never tried to get a pass for myself or for any one else.
With best wishes, believe me,
Sincerely yours, -

My dear Dr. Levermore:
I am very sorry to have to report that Dr. McKelway cannot deliver the address for Commencement, as he is to deliver one at some College in Missouri that very night. If there is anything further I can do, let me know, as I am ready to help you to the best of my ability.

Dr Charles H. Levermore,
Douglas Hill, Maine.
My dear Levemore:
I am only in the City for a day, having arrived late last evening, and am going to the Adirondacks tonight for a day or two, and from there to Syracuse, where I shall have to remain all of next week. On my return to the City the week after next. I will try to see Mr. Murphy and others in connection with the Rockefeller gift. I am not sure but that your suggestion of calling a meeting early in September, notifying Mr. Nichols and others of the "Poly" Board, is a good idea. I have not had a chance to read your letter carefully, having just glanced through it, but will take the matter up aggressively as possible when I get back.
In the meantime, with best wishes, believe me,
Yours very sincerely, -

St. James Place near Lafayette Ave.,
Brooklyn.
My dear Levermore:
Am I correct in understanding that there is to be a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Adelphi College next Monday evening. It seems unusual to have a meeting during the vacation. If there is to be a meeting on Monday night, I will make every effort to attend, and feel quite certain that I shall be able to do see.
Kindly remember me to Mrs. Levermore, and trusting you are all well and with best wishes for a Merry Christmas, believe me,
Sincerely yours, -

My dear Levermore:
Since writing to you the other day about attending Comptroller Grout's dinner, I find that it will be impossible for me to attend. It was my intention at that time to attend the dinner and take the 11.30 train that night to Albany, there joining a party of gentlemen whom I invited to visit my camp in the Adirondacks. Sunday, however, I learned that Senator Allds (who has the arrangements in charge) had arranged for a special car to be attached to the night train leaving Albany at 11.15 on Thursday night, the 23rd, and had so notified the twenty gentlemen whom I had invited. Beside this, they have arranged for a dinner - at which I am to be the guest - on that evening, the plan being to go directly from the dinner to the train. As Governor Higgins, Comptroller Kelsey, Secretary of State O'Brien, and a number of the members of the Senate, ate in the party, it is absolutely imperative that I should be in Albany early on Thursday. I am going to Syracuse tonight and will be back in New York a week from next Monday, at which time I would like to hear from you about Grout's plans. Will you not be kind kind enough to write me at that time about the whole scheme, what you think about it, etc., etc.
With best wishes, believe me,
Yours very sincerely, -

My Dear Levermore:-
I am in receipt of your favor, and will write to whomever you want me to about delivering the Commencement Oration whenever you get ready.
You ask me about a spring reception - Endowment Day. I thought that had been abandoned from what Judge Crane said to me. I have some doubt as to the advisability of the undertaking. I certainly am in no position to give it any time or attention as I am now situated.
With best wishes,
Yours very sincerely,
