Seminary, Monday, Jan. 9, i860.
According to your request, I prepared yesterday and will
mail today for Governor Wickcliffe: 1. A copy of our morning report of
yesterday giving numbers of officers, cadets, and servants. 2. Distribution of
rooms, showing easy accommodations for one hundred forty-three cadets, and in
case of necessity fifty more. 3. Copy of our register of cadets, giving names,
etc., of thirty-one cadets (now thirty-two). . . 4. Copy of the proceedings of
the Academic Board, showing the basis of instruction, text books, etc. Still
subject to change, before being finally referred to the Board of Supervisors
for approval.
And lastly I wrote him a letter, giving him such details and
suggestions as occurred to me at the time.
Of all these I retain copies, and would send them to you only they are
voluminous, and are always here of record, and will be examined by you on your
next visit. Our mess arrangements, drill and recitations work as smoothly as I
would expect. . .
Dr. Smith1 sent me word to send him about the
close of this month at Baton Rouge full details for his use. I think I had
better do so, carefully and minutely.
