Marion, May 7th, 63
Mr Vassar,
Sir: About two years ago I saw in the papers, a paragraph stating that Mr. Matthew Vassar had given 200,000 dollars for the praiseworthy purpose of founding a College for the Education of Women, in Poughkeepsie N. York.
Having never seen any farther notice given to the subject, in the journals of the day, and not having any other means of obtaining information, I have taken the liberty of addressing to you, this note, for the purpose of learning, whether the building has been erected, or is being built, when school will be opened: if soon will you please send a catalogue.
Perhaps you are not
the person to whom I should have written, but I have lost the paper, in which were the names of the Committee, and yours is the only one which I could recollect.
By replying to this as soon as possible, you will oblige
Yours, Respectfully,
Elizabeth L. Geiger.
Direct to Miss E. L. Geiger.
