The following is a bill for my great-grandmother Franceise Loraine Fay Collins' schooling at Mrs. Bryan's Seminary in Batavia. Part of the form is printed and part written in by Mrs. Bryan. At a cost of $150 for a three month term, this was an expensive undertaking for the time. It seems Mrs. Bryan also acted as a kind of informal bank doling out pocket money for the girls! MRS.
