David Hastings congratulates Edgar E. Hastings (Class of 1865) for coming out at the head of his class at Dickinson College following the final examinations. Hastings also shares news from Harrisburg as well as notes that Bob Noble had become "another victim of evil Company." "Had [Noble] volunteered in the defense of his Country's land and fallen in the battle field," David explains that Noble's "family and friends would have been saved from the taunts" of the "community."
