R. H. Jesse,

Pres. Of M. S. U.,

Columbia, Mo.,

Dear sir:-

The other day as I was leaving home I learned that the
committee, of which I understand you are a part, on locating the hospital 
were going to recommend to the board of curators, locating it on the hill
infront of the Babb property, rather almost infront of my property.

It is not often that I offer an objection to anything of the kind,
but I would like for it to be located somewhere else. I am satisfied it
would be objectionable to all parties in that neighborhood.

If you can see your way clear to recommend some other point I would 
be glad and take it as a favor. It seems to me that a hospital would 
require a more quiet place, probably in the suburbs of the town. On the 
campus grounds it would be in the noise and confusion of the club house 
and the boys from the campus grounds and the street passing it would cause
a great deal of confusion and we think that an objection to the hospital
being there, separate and apart from the objections that will be offered
by the parties in that community.

Yours truly,

J. R. Campbell, Ag t.
