[Letter from T. N. Carswell to Sarah Anna Simmons Crane - April 21, 1960]
A letter written to Sarah Anna Simmons Crane from T. N. Carswell, dated April 21, 1960. Carswell expresses his appreciation for all the "notes" from Crane which brought "memories of a now far off wonder day, the springtime of your life and mine". He advises of the generosity of her grandparents as to the reason he received his college degree and her Dad, whom he met and loved, was also a benefactor of Simmons. Carswell advises that conditions are quite different out at Simmons, that he is no longer a trustee having resigned some years earlier after Dr. Richardson resigned as president. He requests that she take the attached check and go to a show and dinner "for the sake of old lang syne".
