Dear Sir
Having it in contemplation of entering College in September, and having as yet fixed upon no settled place, I would solicit a favor from you, if it is agreeable to receive another student, that you will please forward by mail the conditions of the institution now under your charge, and send me a circular or catalogue of the same; Hoping this may reach you, & awaiting a speedy reply I remain a true yet to you an unknown friend
Very Respectfully Yours
