The letter is one page and measures 7.75" x 10. 25" (19.69 x 26.04 cm). Edwin Lincoln Moseley (1865-1948) was born in Union City, Michigan and graduated from high school at age 15.

He also established a museum. In 1914, Moseley was appointed one of the first faculty members at Bowling Green Normal College (now Bowling Green State University). He served as science professor and head of the biology department until 1936. From 1936 to 1948 he was the curator of the college's natural history and science museum. Moseley authored several books and monographs and numerous articles. An honorary doctoral degree was conferred on him by Bowling Green State University in 1943. Upon his death, Moseley donated his estate to the university to assist worthy students in need. The fund continued to award scholarships through the twenty-first century.

Full Text	[corresponds to page 1 of E. L. Moseley Letter of Resignation to Sandusky Board of Education] Sandusky, Ohio June 4, 1914 Mr. Begg, Superintendent of Schools: After holding a position as science teacher in the Sandusky High School for twenty-five years, I hereby tender my resignation. My work has been congenial and I have no reason to think it would be less so in the future, were I to remain at Sandusky but an opportunity to enter a larger field takes me away. While resigning as teacher, I should like to continue in the service of the Board of Education as curator of the museum, with the same pay as heretofore for the use and care of the collections. Yours respectfully, E. L. Moseley
