Notwithstanding the reduction which was made in the rents proposed, it appears that that on the salaries will so much enlarge our surplus, that we may very safely engage 8. professors, and still have a surplus this year of 6000. D. and annually after of 5024 D. The opportunity of procuring the anatomical professor is so advantageous, that I propose to make the provisional instruction for his engagement absolute. On this subject I ask your opinion, to be given to me without delay that it may be in time to be acted on. The statements below will enable you to form your opinion. Accept assurances of my esteem & respect.
