Joseph Vaill, Trustee and General Agent of Amherst College, handwritten draft of a form letter titled "Further Appeal in Behalf of Amherst College" in which Vaill notes an accompanying circular and addresses the recipients, appealing to them to subscribe to a fund to support the College and thus sustain the interests of evangelical religion. He writes that Amherst College is a college raised for the express purpose of maintaining the cause of evangelical health, sound doctrine, and pure religion. He elaborates on the school, especially in regards to this evangelical mission, calling attention to the pastoral and missionary work of many of its alumni. Vaill ask the recipients to give to the College. Notes after Vaill's signature state "500 copies" and "800 - copies Large."
