Dear Miss Thompson:

This letter is being addressed to you since I am not sure just which person or group would be most interested in receiving the enclosures.

Enclosed are three letters of my grandmother's, Lillian Taylor, (later Mrs. Otto Kiliani). The first is dated April 27, 1873, from Baden, in Germany, and mentions that she has heard of Vassar and hopes to go there.

The other two are dated Feb. 4, 1877 and OCt. 21, 1877 respectively and make some mention of classes and extracurricular life at Vassar.

These are being sent to you with the thought that they may be of interest to the college if so make whatever use of them you choose.

Sincerely,
Natalie Kiliani, 1937
