Such a step is timely & judicious, & it is my earnest desire that the people of New England improve the opportunity furnished for doing good at the West by both their prayers & liberal contributions. The statements of Mr. Hovey may be relied on & he is affectionately commended to the friends of this country. S.M. Hall. Sem. for Teachers. June 17th 1834.
