My dear Miss Stilson,
I was put duly in receipt of your kind letter of the
23d current, and was surprised to learn at first thought
that you had not received " V College & its Founder "
but on the second thought, there was a very good and
satisfactory reason, viz, I had omitted to mail it &c,
dispactd it yesterday which will be at hand ere this
note.
I herewith send you on other side as per request
the Certificate sought, and hope it will prove satis-
factory arid accomplish your purpose. Our College is
filling up fast—we have now entered on the Books
some 370, pupils, all goes on well, I am happy to hear
that your School prospects are so flattering. We have
this summer added more gymnastics & other physical
Exercises, the latter large Riding School Building,
two 9 Pin-Alleys,—Not feeling very bright this Morn-
ing I must make this note brief.
Yours very Respectfully &c
Matthew Vassar
