    & The following Papers, stated to have been mislaid, having been returned, on tJ0\Zth of August, by the Rev. Dr. Wil- son, in whose possession they were, they are now printed in confirmation of Dr. Cooper's claims as a Physician. Carlisle, 29th Sept. 1815. Thomas Cooper, Esq_. Dear Sir, The trustees of Dickenson College extremely regret that you have formed the resolution to resign your Professorship. Could the funds of the College in any degree have justified the trustees in making such addition to your compensation as your services demanded, it would have been cheerfully done. We are satisfied that your personal reputation and your very able and faithful discharge of the duties of your appointment, acquired to the College solid reputation, and greatly added to its means of usefulness. In taking leave of you, Sir, we can- not withhold the unasked, but just acknowledgment of the great and important benefits the institution has received from you, and the declaration that all your conduct, either as a pro- fessor or as a gentleman, has been such as in every respect to meet our warmest approbation. We know that the institution, in losing your services, loses much; nor do we expect that the vacancy created by your resignation, can be filled with equal talents. We pray you to accept our best wishes for your happiness and prosperity; and the assurance of our deep regret, that the state of the College at present, forbids our making any offer that would enable you to remain with us. With all sentiments of attachment and respect, We are, dear Sir, Very affectionately yours, John Armstrong, M. D. President. fames Gustine, M. D. H. H. Brackenridge, of the Sup. Court. James Hamilton, Prest. Judge 9th Dist. Jonathan Walker, do. ' 4th Dist. Thomas Duncan, Daniel Watts, Robert Blaine, Andrew Crothers, Edw. J. Stiles, Rev. John Campbell.
