Permit us to add. Sir, that by complying with the wishes of the class, you will not only reflect great honor upon yourself, but also on the Institution with which you are connected.

Gentlemen : Your note of this morning, conveying to me the wishes of the Class that a copy of my address be furnished for publication, is received, and I take pleasure in saying, in re- ply, that the request is complied with, and herewith I send you the manuscript. It was intended as a parting lecture to the Graduates, to whom it was especially addressed, and I must, therefore, esteem the call for its publication by the Class at large, as evidence of its favorable reception by the Institution. If its publication shall, in the least, further the in- terests of this School of Medicine, as you intimate, and gratify the Class, I shall be satis- fied to have it go forth, though conscious of its imperfections. Please to present to the Class, and accept, Gentlemen of the committee, for yourselves, assurances of my high esteem and cordial friendship. Ever truly yours, &c. M. L. KNAPP. Messrs. G. D. Wilber, E. A. Hill, and Committee. Note.—A committee of three, to wit: Juro. W. Greex, Theophiltts Fhavel and T. Hioday, was appointed to publish the address, who waited on Prof. Knapp and requested him to superintend its publication, placing in his hands the supposed requisite amount of funds.
