for her.  In place of Miss York I want you to take Miss [[underlined]] Bell [[/underlined]] (whose papers I enclose).  She has passed an excellent examination.  I want to send her to "Chaptico" St. Mary's Co. Md. about Tuesday.  If you will make this change you will oblige me very much. The New Yorkers will take Miss Y. but are not willing to take a new teacher for a [[underlined]] new place. [[/underlined]]  Great Mills was their place.  I send you a letter from Venning; had you not better pay this brother direct.  Send [[underlined]] Locke [[/underlined]] to me and I will get him to his field.  Miss [[underlined]] Ketchum [[/underlined]] went to Oxen Run, but things did not look right; she is now in the City.  I shall send her to Woodville on Saturday.

Very Respectfully Yours
