Text

Communication from Prof. Martin referred to in Report of Faculty
To the Board of Trustees of Davidson College.
Gentlemen:-
I beg leave respectfully to urge upon your attention several objects which seem to me to demand it, and for which I earnestly ask an appropriation.
(1) In common with my neighbors, I find it difficult to keep myself provided with servants, and it has often been, during the past year, cause of serious inconvenience that the water for family use had to be brot from a neighbor lot. We have been compelled to use water with an economy that is neither healthful nor pleasant. I beg that
a well may be dug on the lot during the present summer.
