Description

Caroline Still writes to her father, William Still, thanking him for the ten dollars and telling him how she spent it. She says that she tries to be careful with her spending, but she will need another $25 for such items as shoes and a parasol. She explains that the graduating class of Oberlin sit for photographs to exchange with faculty and classmates. Since she had not made her appointment yet, others thought it was because she was the only African American in the class, but she wanted to ask him first for the $7.00 she needs for this.
