Carl, George F., fl. 1860

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Joseph M. Maitland

Tells his friend that he has left Urbana, and explains that he might have made an "impression" on a couple of women, noting however, that it was unintentional. Writes that when he left "I felt considerably like as if I had been drawn down a rainbow hauled by a pink angel, with 'shingled hair' did you feel so?" Discusses the merits of teaching as a profession. Proclaims, "May our friendship be 'lasting as the mountains rich' and 'as endurable as the waves of the ocean.' "
