Dr. C. H. Levermore,
Adelphi College,
Brooklyn.
My dear Dr. Levermore:
I am in receipt of your letter written on the 11th inst. It will be impossible for Mrs. Woodruff and me to visit Adelphi this week, as we leave tomorrow for Syracuse and from there are going to Columbus to attend my son's wedding. We expect to be back on Monday, the 29th of May, and between the thirtieth (which is a holiday) and our departure for Europe on the 6th of June, we hope to visit the College. During that week, I will try my best to meet you and the other member of the Executive Committee.
About Herman A. Metz - I agree with all you say. I met him quite recently at a dinner of the Brooklyn Riding & Driving Club. I was favorably impressed with him and found he was quite popular with those who were present. He is one of the most progressive and active men in Brooklyn and I should think would make an admirable trustee.
Yours very sincerely,
