Having just returned from summering up north, I am writing in reply to your letter of July 20, 2004
Despite the flowering words, you are trying to expropriate private property. If you need additional dormitories – build them. It may set back your timetable but it is preferable to extorting the fraternities.
Hopefully the leadership of the DKE house will spurn your overture. I would much rather see the house sold as a private home, turned into a bed and breakfast or leased to the state as a half-way facility.
Sincerely Yours,
