Abstract
1 letter from Teegarden to her cousin Mary A. Starr. She describes her experience staying at Vassar over the Christmas holiday and the daily activities of the students during the break. On Christmas, she writes about attending a service at Christ Church in the City and hosting a Christmas party for students and faculty. Attendees included the Lady Principal (Miss Lyman), the resident physician, and Matthew Vassar. She writes glowingly about her impressions of the school, course of study, faculty, her classmates, the students' health, and her social life.
