Benson J, Lossing Esq  .
My dear Sir
I have always found it some
advantage to sleep at least one Night over any important buisness
subject.   The suggestion you made to me concerning the gratuitous
distribution of your History &c of the College to the pupils &c, at
ltVassar,n at first impressed me favorably, but on further reflec-
tion I reversed that opinion, thinking the precedent once set of
giving, would be difficult to discontinue, but I have thought it would
be policy to present the Officers & Ladies Teachers each a Copy
and there Stop, and even then this would not be a president, if it were
understood that you had any interest in   it &c-,     However if you can
make it convenent call and see me this Morning     and
Oblige Your Humble Servt,
Matthew Vassar
