You should apply to one of these Societies, and I would advise you to send your applications with testimonials to Rev. [[underlined]] James B. Simmons, [[/underlined]] Secy. [[underlined]] A Baptist H. M. Society, [[/underlined]] 39 Park Row, N. York City, and request him (in case he cannot employ you) to refer the matter to Mrs. [[underlined]] J. S.
