Line 1              To the Trustees & Faculty of Lane Theological Seminary

Line 2              Gentlemen,

Line 3                                      We the undersigned, members of the

Line 4              Seminary, take the liberty of addressing you on a subject

Line 5              not very important, but yet intimately connected

Line 6              with our daily convenience and pleasure.

Line 7              It is with no little regret that we have seen our

Line 8              beautiful front yard, for the last six weeks, turn’d

Line 9              into a pasture for some dozen or twenty cows.  It is

Line 10            needless for us to state the many little annoyances

Line 11            to which we are subjected, by so many cattle running

Line 12            at large through the yard. _ _ For the sake of having a

Line 13            neat & pleasant front yard, that shall not be disagreeable

Line 14            to ourselves, our friends, acquaintances & visitors of the Sem 7;

Line 15            we respectfully request that some other pasture may be

Line 16            provided for the cattle; at least, till the close of the present

Line 17            term__
