Abstract
Lewis Strong, Trustee of Amherst College, letter to George Bliss in which Strong writes regarding an application to the Massachusetts Legislature for a grant to Amherst College. Strong discusses his original feelings about the College charter, his appointment as a Trustee made by the Legislature, the course the Trustees have taken, and the current opportunity to increase the number of students if aid is granted. He argues in support of the State granting aid to the College and responds to the opposition they expect from "the gentleman of Berkshire," remarking on Williams College. He mentions the previous views of Mr. Shaw regarding State grants to the College and states that he gave Mr. Leland for Bliss such papers in Strong's possession as he thought might be useful.
