Madame.
M? James Bowne of this city handed me your letter
to him containing a request of a Photograph & all the documen   that
have been issued with reference to the Vassar F. College.
Being not in possession of any Photograph, I take the pleasure
in remitting you a Lithograph and also the different pamphlets apper-
taining to the endowment & erection of the College, which all I hope
will contribute to the interest you manifest for this Enterprize
Thanking you for your Kind sentiments expressed towards the
Institution and myself, for which I feel highly gratified* I remain
Dear Madame
Respectfully yours
M. Vassar
