I am thus convinced that Elizabeth will prove herself to be a valuable contributor
to your English Department, both as a graduate student and as a Teaching and / or
Research Assistant. She is more than deserving of any financial assistance you can
offer as she completes her Master’s and Doctoral degrees.
Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide to support
you in your decision-making process. I am emailing copies of this letter to Dr.
Greg Trahern, English Chair, and to Dr. Jennifer McCracken, senior professor of
Victorian Literature at the University of Tennessee.
Sincerely,
John I. Academician
