Matthew Vassar Esq.
Sir,
Having noticed in a late number of the “Advocate and Guardian,” an article on the approaching completion of a College for women founded by your beneficence, I have ventured to write to you for further information. If I were aware of the name and address of the Secretary of the Board of Trustees, I would not trespass on your time; as I am not, I must request you to pardon this letter for the sake of the deep interest I take in the affair.
I earnestly wish to enter the College in order to qualify myself as a teacher, but have no means at my command; and understanding that a certain number of
young women will be admitted gratis, I am anxious to learn under what regulations this will be done. Also what probable space of time will elapse before the opening of the institution for the entrance of students.
Though it may never by my privilege to enter the College, I shall always remain a sincere and grateful admirer of that generosity, which will so nobly assist in giving to woman the intellectual culture, of which she now, inwardly and keenly, feels the want.
Very Respectfully,
G. Anderson
