Show R. G. M -2- <br> which I received. The buildings that are crossed out in red ink, were torn down this summer. Like all the old institutions** Colleges located* in the** cities* they are very much hampered for room for extension and are buying up interior city property at very high prices. I am constantly impressed by the experience of the older institutions of the value of getting plenty of land for future uses while it is vacant and unimproved. <br> Kindly send me 15 or 20 College catalogs if you have them to spare and if there is any expense attached to it, let me know the amount. <br><br> Very truly yours, <br> Sheldon Jackson* <br> General Agent of Education in Alaska. <br><br> 1 Enclosure* <br><br><br> * handwritten inserts in the original typewritten document <br> ** "institutions" and "the" are crossed out <br><br> |
