Description

The philanthropic billionaire declines assistance in starting a school for women

TLS, one page, 5.75 x 7.5, personal letterhead, June 5, 1915. Letter to Julia H. Farwell. In full: “Answering yours of the 3rd, with reference to the establishment of a vocational school for women, I regret, but it would be impossible for me to take up the question. We are already over-burdened with the many other important enterprises we have on hand for the general uplift, and we are forced to recognize our limitations. Please not regard this as any lack of confidence in you and of good wishes for you and your work.” Letter is affixed to a slightly larger sheet of red cardstock. In fine condition, with central horizontal and vertical folds, one through a single letter of signature, and slight rusty paperclip mark to left edge. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
