User-Contributed Transcription spirit of self-denying benevolence which founded this school is not dead yet. If one thousand of Holyoke's daughters would contribute only $5.00 each, and send it now, this work, so important to the health and comfort of present and future pupils, could be done at once. Perhaps some may not be able to give that amount; but the smallest sum will be gladly received, if cordially offered. And surely, there are not a few who are abundantly able to do more. You will help us, I know, my dear friend as you may be able, with your money, your influence and your prayers. We feel that "Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it." Perhaps you can mention the matter to some wealthy and benevolent acquaintaince who will be persuaded to assist us. And will you please forward this letter at once to Jennie Everett, at Remsen, N. Y. I am staying here as "resident graduate", in order to use the Sen. library; and am responsible for our class, so I make each letter serve for two persons. Direct class letters to me here, I am, &cLove to both of you, my dear class mates,Mary O. Nutting
