OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY.
May 3, 1887
Rev. Sabato Morais.
Reverend and dear Sir,
It gives me great pleasure to inform you that the Board of Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania resolved this day to confer upon you the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws at the Commencement to be held on June the eighth.
It is the particular desire of the Provost[?] and Trustees that you should be present on this occasion to receive the degree in person, as it is contrary to their rules to have it conferred in absentia. I will have the pleasure of sending to you in ample time notice of

the time and place of Com-mencement, and as many tickets of admission as you may desire for distribution among your friends.
Congratulating you upon this well deserved honor, I remain Very Respectfully Yours Jesse G. Burk Secretary.
