Huntington writes to his “dear classmates.” In part: “I am glad that there is some one in our class who understands the French language, Mr. Eliott I suppose has arrived before this time at College. About the book for compositions I never had one of the old Whelp, but I spoke for one of the old fellow. You must try to get the handkerchief if you can, as for Nando & Allen I send a little money inclosed if they won’t take this money that must wait for it till I come down again….

That is all I owe him….” In very good condition, with usual folds, wrinkles, mild soiling, a few chips to edges, and loss at right margin very slightly affecting a few words. R&R COA.
