[to President Walker.]

Cambridge, Feb. 16, 1854.

my dear Sir,—I inclose you my note to the Corporation. Will you be kind enough to look at it, before handing it to them; for if it is not in proper form and phrase, I will write it over again.

I also inclose the letters of Schele de Vere, and remain,

Very faithfully Yours

Henry W. Longfellow²

[to the President and Fellows of Harvard College.]

Gentlemen,—Having last Winter signified to you my intention of resigning my Professorship
