1863 Grace D Dickerson February 9th 1863 Answered 13th Philadelphia Feb. 9th 63 Mr. Vassar, Dear Sir I learn by an editorial in Todays Ladys Book, that it is designed to open The Vassar Female College in September 1863. Pleased with the plan of instruction adopted I am very anxious to become a pupil of that institution. Being unable to obtain information on the subject elsewhere, as a last resort, I apply to you, hoping you will furnish me with all the instructions necessary to enable me to attain my object. Waiting for a speedy answer, I Remain, Respectfully, Grace D. Dickerson 1215 Mount Vernon St. Phil.
