Yet, to this necessity am I reduced
for the want of a suitable building
elsewhere. When I think of it, I am
filled with despair. I have looked
through the whole neighborhood
of the University for a house but
there is none that I could get for [lone] or money. The Ellerbeck family
owns a fine place but they would
not rent it to us for less than
one hundred dollars ($100) per
month. Of course, that is out of
the question.
There is but one other place which
we could obtain if you are willing
and that is Mr. Geo. Q. Cannon's
large house opposite the "Amelia
Folsom Plalace" It is unoccupied
except by one small family in the
first story and there is plenty of
room in the upper stories that
could be comfortably filled by
our school. Many good people
have asked us why we did not
try to get permission to occupy
this house as it is useless for
any other purposes and is fast
going to ruin. Let us but have the
right to occupy it and we will take
better care of the property so that
it will not be injured in our hands.
