Phila. Jan 29th, 1863
Mr. Matthew Vassar
Sir,
Desiring to receive more information in reference to your college, than than can be found in any book on paper I have examined, I thought the best way would be to write to you.
I should like to know what the charges or expenses will be to attend, and the necessary qualifications for admittance, such as studies, age &c and whether you allow residents of other states to attend.
My health failing some five years ago, I was obliged to leave school, but would like to try again. I have a sister twelve years of age, very well advanced in her studies; do you think she could be admitted?
The reason of my writing so long beforehand is because I wish to make arrangements
to attend some other school, if I cannot gain admittance to your college.
If convenient you will confer a great favor by sending the desired information as soon as possible to
Anna E. Murphy
410 Richmond St. Phila.
