Niagara July 10th 1856
Pres, M B Anderson D.D
My dear Sir/
1 owe you an appology in parting so suddenly
after the Festival Dinner of Yesterday, but upon recconing up our
time, found it too short to tarry longer at Rochester, and visit other
points to reach home by Satturday Evening, so we left by the p.m.
train yesterday.
Enclosed you have $10 note of the F & Manufactus Bank   #   to
pay for the Rev   A. M. Manns Diploma which perquisite I presume
you will be entitled to and when ready please to enclose to me, as I
wish to present it to my friend without charge.
Prof. Jewett unites in bearing testimony to the very interesting
& crediable exercises & cordial civilities, connected with your "Uni-
versity" Commencement of Yesterday, and much regret we could not
had leasure to have accepted of your kind Invitation of last evening.
Yours
very truly & Respectfully
M Vassar
