Miss Alta M. Rigg,
Marvin, Ks.

Your favor of the 4th inst. is at hand. I understand that your
brother will take a regular course. Special courses have not been
encouraged in the past. However, where the student possesses maturity
and can show good reason for requesting a special course, such a course
may in future in most cases be arranged. I think we can give you the
work in cooking, music, and sewing, altho it might be found best after
examining more fully into what you have done, to advise you to take some
other work also. We send herewith a catalog.

Truly yours,
[Tom E. Will]
President.

Russell, Ks.

Dear Miss Carnell,

Yours of the 4th is at hand. I very much wish it were possible
for me to guarantee you something to do to assist you in paying your way.
However, the demand for such work as can definitely be promised is con-
siderably greater than the supply. I will keep your letter on file,
and will be glad to help you if the opportunity should offer.

Very truly yours,
[Thos. Will]
President.
