[Reply penciled at top:]
Four full studies in advance are not allowed. With your private review of Rhetoric, you will have enough to do.
J. H. R.

Pres. Raymond,—
A word, please, about my studies. 

I am Freshman in Algebra, French, and Latin, but am wanting in Rhetoric and Physical Geography. In the former preparatory study, I hope, if allowable, to pass shortly a private examination. In Physical Geography. would you be kind enoughto assign me to a class? My recitation periods already given, are the second, fourth, and fifth.---

Respectfully,
Mary B. Robinson, ['76]
Vassar College, Sept. 25th,  [1872]
