ful whether any of the old editon
of the Digest are obtainable as they
have been generally distributed until
exhausted, and none are likely to be
in the Document Room. If I can

business as it sets a precedent for
other institutions who may have the
same desire; but I have urged the

Very truly yours,
Presd't M.H. Buckham,
Burlington, Vt.
