Sweet Springs 9 Sept 1867

My dear Mr Campbell
I had proposed leaving here today for Lexington but am so feeble that the Dr is reluctant for me to take the journey - I fear therefore I may not reach Lexington before the beginning of next week. Will you therefore assembly the Faculty & ask them to prepare the schedule of recitations & make the necessary preparations for the commencement of studies, accommodation of the students etc-
Regretting my inability to be with you
I am with kind regards to all the Faculty
Very truly yours

R E Lee

Profr Campbell

Note on the reverse:
Faculty will please meet at 31/2 P. M. today in Gen. Lee's Office.
