Later, incom- pany with a few invited friends, the Governor took dinner at Hotel Hollis where Mrs, Hollis had prepared one of those excellent repasts for which her table is noted. In conversation regarding the Asy- lum Governor Dockery expressed himself as having come to Farming: ton somewhat prejudiced against the cottage plan, but that after seeing the buildings he was fully convinced of the superiority of the cottage over the old plan, He said further that he was well satisfied with the work, the architecture and the location: and felt that when the build in course of construction are com- pleted this will be one of the best Asylums in the United States. The Governor's ambition now is to see the work speedily finished and the buildings opened for the reeeption of patients. 2 Commissioner J. D Allen arrived now GAVE HIMSELF UP.
