Washington addresses Dr. E. R. L. Gould of New York on 26 February 1910. Obviously in the hand of another, Washington has signed this one page appeal for funds for the Institute. He describes the financial arrangements for students' tuition and notes that "they are wholly unable to pay the cost of fifty dollars per year the cost of teaching each one."
