Abstract
A printed form letter in which Joseph Vaill writes as the appointed General Agent of Amherst College and asks addressees to donate to the College by subscription. The circular included is dated October 1841 and is written by a Committee of the Trustees of Amherst College: Heman Humphrey, William B. Banister, Samuel T. Armstrong, William B. Calhoun, and George Grennell. In the circular, the Committee discusses the financial history of the College including the Charity Fund. They explain current debts and financial needs and ask for aid, noting that the Trustees are attempting to raise a sum of one hundred thousand dollars. The letter is addressed to Mr. Russell (presumably Herbert John Russell).
