Poughkeepsie
October iHh, 1867.
My dear Mrs Hale,
I duly recived yours of the 9th Current in answer to w
several enquiries concerning the College publications & illustrations
in the "Lady Book", with also the Sketch enclosed of Mr. Godeys, terms
&c &c. Of course the suggestions were my own and have not been sub-
mitted to the Executive Board for their consideration, but when I do
will inform you of the result, altho1 from some side information yester-
day (Saturday) hinted by the Chairman of that Committee I think nothing
next
will be done untill the seasoni term, seeing that the College is now
nearly full of Pupils. Whenever it is determined to enlarge the pub-
licity of the Institution it should be accomplished by the most effective
medeums,- I incline with you to believe that as ours is the first College
for the liberal Education of Woman in the world, it is entitled to the
widest historical circulation &c

There were held here last week, the N.Y. State Baptist Missionary, Home
&c
& Foreign Bible Society Unions, of course a large number of distinguished
Clergymen & lay Delegates were present, and many of them visited the
College, and most if not all went away as one of Old from the Temple,
wonderfully supprised, repeating the same answer.
I am happy hear that your health is improved and can join you in
similar rejoicing &c.
With much regards I remain
dear Mrs H- Yours truly &c
M. Vassar
