Philadelphia, 2nd September 1807
Sir,
Your Boy has just now handed me your note of yesterday, wherein you complain heavily of the Influenza—If it had singled you out & left your Neighbors untouched, you might be allowed to complain, & I should most heartily condole with you, but I cannot admit that you complain of a visit from so universal a visitor; a visitor that neglect neither Rich nor Poor, Old nor Young, Male nor Female, —
You must take a plentiful sweat, to break & destroy your fever & then take plenty of Flaxseed tea & plenty of Molasses, & your visitor will soon leave you. I shall pay your note for $80 when presented; & shall also my Mr. Bernhard his demand. I have given your Boy $100 agreeable to your desire. Last night a Gentleman called on me with a note of Joel Gibs in your favor & endorsed by you for 375 dated the 31 […] 60 days. He had seen your signature before & thinks of your endorsement to be different. I think the same. He begs the favor of you to inform me by line, by return of the stage […] whether you did or did not, make any such endorsement for J G on the 31 [… same symbol as above]. In the Interim, I wish you a speedy & happy delivery from your troublesome visitor,
I am yours sincerely,
Bernard Fearis
I believe it is a year since you got Jno [Jonothan] Curtis’s Bond. I am afraid he will take the advantage of you, if you put it in his power.

Description
An account of the resource
In August 1969, President of Villanova, Rev. Robert J. Welsh, O.S.A., formed a committee to study the potential of Villanova adopting a policy of affirmative action in purchasing. The committee consisted of William Maher, Rev. James Ryan, O.S.A., and Cecilia Smith, a Villanova student. Throughout August—September 1969, the committee met and discussed various options for the univerity. At this time, two popular plans were considered: The Philadelphia Plan, and Project Equality. This report discusses the various advantages and disadvantages of both plans.
While the Philadelphia Plan had partially been adopted by the federal government it had received some negative attention from the public and was attracting judicial challenges throughout the country.
Project Equality was considered by the committee to have more advantages than disadvanatges, including a large participation from both Protestant and Catholic churches as well as from Fairfield University - a Catholic university similar to Villanova. A national organization, Project Equality was also consider advantageous given its ability to "assist in promotion and evaluation of purveyors, and follow-up efforts to insure equal opportunity employment."
The committee recommended the participation of Villanova with Project Equality and suggested a timetable for implementation of these efforts.
