He was a charter trustee of Vassar College. This letter reads in part: "...was glad to hear that you were getting on so rapidly with your history of the Rebellion. I have been in the habit occasionaly of writing political articles for the press which have always met with a welcome reception from our editors, and I was somewhat surprised where on presenting to the Editor of the Tribune of this City an article on the subject of your forthcoming work, I was told they should charge me 75$ for a single insertion in the editorial columns, 25$ in a less conspicuous place and 8 or 10 dolls as an advertisement.

Benson John Lossing (1813-1891) was a prolific and popular American historian, known best for his illustrated books on the American Revolution and American Civil War and features in Harper's Magazine.
