Dear Sir:-

Enclosed please find Wells, Fargo, Cos. Chk No 1507 of this date on their House, New York, for Two Thousand Dollars ($2000.00) It is made payable to H. B. Clawson because it was more convenient for Eldredge & Clawson, thro' whom I obtained it. Bror. Clawson can get the money or endorse it to you as you prefer. This is Territorial money appropriated for the use of the University. Tomorrow I expect to send you a similar amoung ($2000.00) same kind of funds, for the same object, which will be all that I expect to send, as probably you can fix the balance if any more is needed, when your return. If this is not enought & you will need more before that time, it will be necessary for you to advise us. By direction of the Chancellor & Regents,

T. W. Ellerbeck

P. S. The understanding of the Legislature was to use only Five Thousand ($5000.00) dolls this year.
