Col. Corson writes me that you have applied to him for a Maryland school, and that you prefer the easter part of the State.  I can offer you the school at Franklin Nanticoke Dist., Wicomico Co., which was taught during the summer by a student of Lincoln University.

Go by Delaware R.R. Salisbury, and get conveyance to the place.  Ifyou write Mr. [[underlined]] Zechariah Netter, [[/underlined]] I think he will meet you at Salisbury.  Write me as soon as you arrive.
