Hence a little<br \/>\ndelay has been caused but not so great, I hope, as to<br \/>\ninconvenience your plans. I send you by this (Tuesday)<br \/>\nevening\u2019s mail the other copies of the protest. I<br \/>\nwill pay the express (25 cts. probably) and in payment will reserve<br \/>\nfor myself 8 copies. I want a few on hand for we<br \/>\nare constantly having calls for them and I suppose we<br \/>\nnever can get any more except at considerable expense.<br \/>\nYou may tell anyone that Mrs. Carver wrote the protest<br \/>\nherself without assistance or revision by another hand.<br \/>\nMy husband listened to it after it was finished and<br \/>\nat his suggestion I omitted a few passages. You re-<br \/>\nmember that I omitted also a few expressions and made a few changes at your kind<\/p>\n<p>suggestion. I could write a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">volume<\/span> on the same subject. I have<br \/>\nnot seen the Advertiser\u2019s Editorial but shall try to ob-<br \/>\ntain it. There was also in the Lewiston Journal for Friday,<br \/>\nI am told, a short abstract of it.<\/p>\n<p>The Freshman girls have come to me for advice as to<br \/>\nwhether they should join the boys in their class election.<br \/>\nI shall advise them to accept the invitation by all means.<br \/>\nIt will be for the good of all parties concerned and also<br \/>\nfor the good of the college, I am sure. They were foolish<br \/>\nenough to ask Pres. Small\u2019s advice. He says \u201che won\u2019t advise<br \/>\nthem, as it is none of the faculty\u2019s business but he thinks<br \/>\nit will be <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">pleasanter<\/span> for them to have their own or-<br \/>\nganization.\u201d I have no space for <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">comment<\/span>. Make your<br \/>\nown. Please keep me informed of your whereabouts this<br \/>\nwinter as I may wish to write to you. You will know<br \/>\nwhere to find me. We move next week and I shall soon<br \/>\nbe at the State House. Sincerely M. L. Carver.<\/p>\n<p>P.S.<br \/>\nThe outlook for co-education seems to be<br \/>\ngrowing a little brighter now, don\u2019t you think<br \/>\nso? Everybody is watching the college with great<br \/>\ninterest. Judge Whitehouse says this new plan<br \/>\nis \u201ca piece of folly.\u201d If you know of anything of in-<br \/>\nterest, please write at any time. No more now.
