has met with very many reserves since he has been West and his health has almost entirely failed so that he cannot do much for his daughter and what is done I myself must do this is the reason why I am so anxious about the sum for tuition if the college is very expensive as I said before I shall have to give up going

Mother has very often spoken of you and Mrs Vassar & always as friends of both hers & Father and of the very kind attentions that were paid to her by Mrs V- (that I have written more as though I was addressing a friend than a stranger please pardon the familiarity I have used in writing this letter) and I am very sure she would wish to be very kindly remembered if she knew I were writing- Then if you will please if it is not too much trouble tell me sum required to defray the entering expenses I will be very much obliged

Yours very respectfully
