VASSAR COLLEGE Poughkeepsie, N. Y. September 0th 0000 My dear Miss Stilson. I am just in receipt of your kind note of the 00st ultimo, redeeming your long looked for promise to write me, which of course I had been axiously waiting, but the long delay inferentialy left the impression, that you were sick, or time and other occupations had obliterated me from your memory - however your in- teresting Letter lying before me has relieved all these forbodings, and I am happy to hear that you are well
