Mr Vassar

Sir.

Having heard of the noble institution in progress under your patronage, and not knowing of one from whom I could gain information except you, I have taken the liberty to address you. I have long wished to enter a college (my aim being to teach,) and this one pleased me better than any I had heard of.

If you are so kind as to answer will you please tell me the terms and qualifications for admission, and when the year commences.

Yours truly,

Emilie S. Lawton
