Capt:
Please write me more about that place "Frossburg," where you say you want a teacher.  How large will the school be?  What sort of a boarding place for a white teacher?  What sort of a school room?  The brother of the man at Shepherdstown wants a place bad, and if he can have a large school I will send him.

Very Respectfully Yours,
