here long enough I wish so much to take a regular B. Ph. course or H. B. course. If I take the regular course I think I can join the Fresh ex- cept Greek and Latin.

Please thank Mr. Loche for his interesting to the Wesleyan Adv. in regards to both Yiin and me. If I have enough time to spare I wish I would write a letter to the Advocate too.

My dear Dr.
