Letter from Montgomery Sellers to Augustine Birrell

Professor Montgomery Porter Sellers ('93) writes to Augustine Birrell, the Chief Secretary for Ireland, about Birrell’s claim in his book, Life of William Hazlitt, that “the presidency of [Dickinson] College” was offered to Hazlitt in 1783. Sellers, who is in the process of “collecting data concerning the early history of the college,” asks Birrell to send additional information “concerning the incident.”
