Mr. Knott to Mr. Beck.

State of Kentucky, Executive Department, Frankfort, July 3, 1884.

My Dear Beck: You will find accompanying this a letter from my friend Hon. Sam. B. Berry, and also one from myself to the President, requesting his assistance in procuring for Father Lanciotti permission to visit his parents in Italy. I wish you would personally interest yourself in the matter for several reasons. In the first place Father Lanciotti is a personal friend of mine, and in the next he is vice-president of St. Mary’s College, and any favor shown him will be appreciated not only by me, but by the host of friends and patrons of the college to whom he is well known and by whom he is much esteemed. You will know what steps to take in the matter better than I can tell you; therefore do whatever your wisdom may suggest.

Your friend, truly,

J. PROCTOR KNOTT.
