We have divided the text book list, however, so as to send to Sheldon & Co. for a part of the works. I enclose you a rough list used in jotting down. I have directed Smith English & Co. to wait three to five days for a letter from you so that you may add what you think best. We have ordered nothing except for the use of students thus far.
