Wesleyan University
Middletown, Connecticut
June 12, 1882
Mrs. James S. Griffing,
Dear Madam,
I should like the date of your husband’s death and the
name of the place where he died, so as to publish it in the new Alumni Record of
Wesleyan University. Will you please reply as soon as possible as the book is
nearly ready to issue now? Rev. J. Lawrence of Topeka, Kansas has told me your
husband died lately.
Yours respectfully,
J. C. Burke, Editor
