Sir,

Understanding that the chair of chemistry and mineralogy, in the University of Miss. is vacant, and that D^r. Y. M. B. Maughs has consented to become an applicant for the same, it affords me pleasure to state that he is eminently qualified for the posi-tion, both in character, and in his varied scientific attainments.

Prior to the war, D^r. Maughs was elected Professor of Chemistry and Physiology in the Missouri Medical College, of this city, and was regarded as a decided acquisition to the fac-ulty, as indeed he would be to any scien-tific institution. In my opinion it would be difficult to find a more suitable per-son to fill the chair alluded to in your institution, which I understand is about to re-open under favorable
