they would permit me to take from the College grounds 3 elm trees to be placed in front of the Craigie House.
I am endeavoring to replace, as well as possible, the old elms, and find it difficult to obtain many of the size I desire.
Some parts of the College ground are so thickly planted that a tree may be removed, here & there, without at all impairing the beauty of the grounds.
I therefore request permission to remove any 3 trees that the College Steward shall say may be taken without detriment to the College property.
Yrs very truly,
