[Inclosure 2 in No. 87.]

Mr. Beck to the President.

Lexington, Ky., July 28, 1884.

Mr. President: Hon. John Davis, Assistant Secretary of State, will lay before you, at my request, communications from Governor Knott, of Kentucky, and Hon. Samuel B. Berry, relative to the aid desired to enable the vice-president of St. Mary’s College, Marion County, Kentucky, to visit Italy.

The reasons why your intervention is needed are so fully set forth in the inclosed letters from Governor Knott and Mr. Berry, that I could add nothing to their force by repeating them.

I have invoked the aid of Mr. Davis, as I am not advised what power you have to grant the request, but I feel assured that Mr. Davis can explain the manner in which your assistance can be given; and I feel sure that you will aid us in any way you can.

Very respectfully,

JAS. B. BECK.

P. S.—Please cause the reply to this to be directed to Hon. Samuel B. Berry, Lebanon, Ky.
