Yours of Sep 4Editorial Note: This letter is not extant., is this moment received. My letter yesterdayEditorial Note: This letter is not extant. was in answer to one received from your college inviting an interview. I have never made an application, directly or indirectly, to join your class. A year ago, or sometime during the earlier part of the year, some of your friends came to me with a verbal message, that you would invite me to attend your lectures free, & I give my consent. Later I received from you a written invitation to attend, but circumstances forbade my being present. Sometimes last June Mrs. Woodbury in an interview at my office said you would renew the invitation if I would accept it. I replied that if a written invitation should come from you I would attend the lectures. You now write that "I have never authorized anyoneAs Written:any one to invite you to join my class". You further say, "Until I converse with you & have something more satisfactory as to your motive for listening to my instructions I cannot invite you to enter my class." As I never have sought to enter your class, & have only responded to solicitations in expressing a willingness to listen to you, I regard your refusal as entirely gratuitous.

Very truly yours,
Stacy Fowler.
