Hello,

This document was among papers belonging to my wife's great-great grandmother. It is obvious that is is a diploma of some kind, but I'm not sure for what. Several family members at first thought it was a high school diploma, but the date(s) are 1899/1900 and my wife's great-great grandmother came to the USA in 1843.

Any insight into this document would be greatly appreciated.
