Show -2- <br> Preparatort Department. <br> I had quite a full talk with Mrs. Thaw on Monday afternoon and regret that I did not know where to look for you although I was in no condition to be outside in the rain, as I was suffering from an attack of the grippe complicated with laryngitis. The returns of my tour through Erie Presbytery have not yet been received, but I am quite sure from remarks made, that it will aggregate $1,000.00 to the College; possibly more. <br> I hope you have found encouragement in your canvass. <br><br> Very truly yours, <br> Sheldon Jackson* <br> General Agent of Education in Alaska. <br><br><br> * handwritten in the original document <br><br> |
