Gentlemen,
You have in your possession the plate of the Diploma of Kenyon College [Ohio]. I shall be going out in a week and will thank you to have [thirty] [copies], struck off on good parchment as soon as possible, & I will call on you & pay for them. I will be much obliged if you will make sure that I shall not be disappointed, as I will not be able to wait, should they not be ready.
Yours very truly,
Charles P McIlvaine
Pres. of Kenyon College
