Ninth Annual Report of the Board of Trustees of the New Jersey State Normal School and Accompanying Documents, to the Legislature for the Year 1863.
Rebecca S. Smith’s collection (1863-1864) contains a teachers provisional certificate, and a graduation certificate letter signed by Principal William F. Phelps in 1863. This document was likely provided to potential employers as proof of graduation. Also included are a few items of correspondence in the same time period, including a letter by Vice-Principal Silas Betts presumably in response to Smith's request for a reference; and two letters regarding a job application and rejection for an Assistant Librarian position at the Mercantile Library in Philadelphia. (The Mercantile Library was later absorbed by the Free Library of Philadelphia.)
