January 31, 1893
Dear Sir,
In pursuance of your's of 30', I forward a copy of the catalogue of my Summer - Class of 1892, which contains an announcement of the Summer course of 1893.
The only text-book needed is Blackstone's Commentaries, Chittys edition of Which is preferred. The instruction is given principally by lectures in the Junior-Class, and concluding by lectures in the Advanced Class.
The total Cost of the summer-course is estimated at about $88 to $105, depending on the Classes attended and board paid.
Attending both classes, and paying the lowest rate of board, the cost would be say about $95.
The summer-course, duly improved would greatly facilitate your private studies and enable you in due time, to practice with success, but if would require a considerable time to be devoted to private systematic Study,

I have known a number of instances of young men's obtaining a licinse, upon the knowledge obtained from the summer-Course alone, but that only attest the deplorable [loosenen?] of their examinations, and by no means proven that the party is fitted to practise, as he certainly is not by what he can acquire in a two month's course,
The summer-lectures are appointed to begin 29' June (5th Thursday), and to continue nine weeks, say to 29 Augt.
I am, very respectfully, Your faith John B. Minor.
Mr A T. Browning Orange, Va
