Dear Sir:&#13;
&#13;
Would you care to accept a shield in dark oak, upon which is mounted the coat-of-arms of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in bronze? This would make a handsome and suitable ornament to be hung in the corridor of your school. It is about 16” in height and about 15” in width at the upper part of the shield. It is very well made.&#13;
&#13;
A number of schools have asked us to send them something of this kind and so we have had a few of these shields made. I should be glad to know if you would care to have one. &#13;
&#13;
E.W. Siple&#13;

Dear Sir:-&#13;
&#13;
We have six 8 x 10” photographs, showing exterior and interior views of the Russell Sage Laboratory of this institution, in one mat with a plain dark frame. The outside measurement is 40” x 25". These pictures correspond to the views on pages 6, 8, 10, 30, 62 and 80 of the bulletin describing the Sage building. I send you a copy of this bulletin.&#13;
&#13;
The picture is handsome and I believe instructive. If you can find a good place for it on the walls of your school, we shall be glad to send one to you by express prepaid.&#13;
&#13;
Kindly answer on the enclosed postal.&#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours, (Enc.) &#13;

Very truly yours, &#13;

Troy, N. Y., July 26, 1907&#13;

Prof. Cecil K. Bancroft,&#13;

Andover, Mass.&#13;
&#13;
Dear Sir:-&#13;
&#13;
I have your letter of July 24th.&#13;
&#13;
In consequence of your letter we will permit Mr. Yung to enter the Institute without examination in all subjects except English. If he passes our course in English, which is given in the first term of the Sophomore year, we will pass off his condition in English. Since he is a foreigner we will be satisfied if he knows a considerable amount of English at the end of our course in that subject.&#13;
&#13;
Will you be kind enough to communicate this information to Mr. Yung.&#13;
Thanking you for the trouble you have taken in this connection I am, (Signed)&#13;
	Palmer C. Ricketts.&#13;
&#13;
Dictated by P. C. R. but not revised.&#13;

My dear Yung:&#13;
&#13;
Mr.Stearns is away on his vacation, so I am sending, in his place, to the Troy Polytechnic Instiute a statement of your work with us, at Cornell, and with the College Entrance Board, asking what credits they will be willing to give you towards entrance on this showing. I will let you know as soon as I hear from them, &#13;
&#13;
Very truly yours, &#13;
