[Letter] February 22,[1895] [to F.H. Giddings]

February 22, [1895], n. p.

Dear Friend:
        President Low's
telegram came
yesterday. I wrote
explanations to Pres.
Gilman, Adams and
Sherwood. No reply
has come, though
the letters went on
Monday and Tuesday.
I think they will
feel it, and they
may cast me into
outer darkness, as
far as they can do
it. I am a miserable
sinner, like all
humanity; but it
cannot be said that
I have done wrong
in this connection,
in the end or at any
point. The more
days pass the
surer I am that I
decided rightly, and the more
quietly happy I am over it.
Through no consent of mine the
papers have obtained the item
about my declining the Johns Hopkins
call. They have not the other item,
however. People have overwhelmed
me with thanks for staying at Amherst.
 I am now digging for dear life on
the Böhm-Bawerk controversy.

        Yours Very Truly,
           John B. Clark
