1875 July 11, Lodore, to Father
Title:
1875 July 11, to Father
Description:
Letter written by Alfred to his father, Francis R. Cope, while the former was in England with Anna S. and Alexis T. Cope. Alfred describes a worsening condition of his eyesight. He is also suffering from a sore throat, which he seeks to cure by exposing himself to the frequent rainstorms. Alfred does not think it best to return to Haverford College in the Winter because of how far behind in his studies he would be. Professor Chase tells him he will have to work exceptionally hard. 1875 is the same year that Chase became president of Haverford College.
