Your favor of Mar. 24. was recieved on the 31 st . the acquaintance I had the pleasure of forming with mr Vanuxem while he favored me with a visit gave me a high sense of his merit and qualifications. in addition to this your recommendation, that of mr Duponceau & of D r Cooper place him on high ground. but I fear we are yet far from the time at which we may think of special professors. our...
