Dear Eaton and Classmates:
Your cordial invitation to me to as-
sume the duties of Class Secretary, until
the Class may elect Hurlbut’s successor,
is received, and I will accept the posi-
tion in the same spirit in which you have
tendered it to me. It is necessary for
some one to act in view of our coming
decennial meeting and the College Jubi-
lee. The work will be lightened and
made a labor of love by the hearty sup-
port of every classmate.
Cordially yours,
OrLANDO LEACH.
