Description:
Tells her sister-in-law that she had received a letter from Emma V. Montgomery in which the latter had requested her help in suggesting a College for a light skinned Black woman from Lynchburg; Emily thought Howard because the young woman was not strong, but thought that Emma would prefer a northern school. Marvels that the return of Cornell's crew (team) received more acclaim than a similar academic achievement, what a "puzzling queer world."
