Letter to Miss Rhoda E. Mead of Waterbury, Connecticut, in which George White describes the beauties of the Cornell University campus, Ithaca, New York, and Cayuga Lake, and the work that he and Mrs. White did to assist her brother, E.P. Gilbert, in the management of Sage College for Women, and the electrification of the building.
