Asks Folger if he is a Princeton alumnus. If so, Howard would like him to add to a letter concerning a supposed offense committed against Princeton by the Harvard Lampoon. An envelope is included on which a note is written saying that the best way for the Lampoon to atone for the vilification of Princeton would be in leading all college men to end the vilification of "the greatest poet philosopher of all time" [i.e. Francis Bacon].
