Mr. Purdie, Sir, You are desired to give the underwritten
lines a place in your impartial and useful gazette; and if
the gentlemen representatives (after all that has passed of
late years) should hereafter think fit to call the college
trustees to account about the funds (which is only a trust
estate, and the best of any on the continent) probably it
may turn out an useful inquiry, and make them more cautious.
And so, sir, a hint in your prints cannot be amiss, as a
remonstrance to some genuine patriots; for pseudo-patriots
are plenty in truth, alas! too numerous. I am your real
friend, and subscriber,
[signed] Philanthropos Americanus.
Let Camm and Henley drop an angry pen,
Discord forbear, ---Oh! turn out loving men,
Write gently, without too much gall in ink,
Blessed Calvin did calmly write and think.
