Miss:

[[underlined]] Col. Corson [[/underlined]] requests me to furnish you a situation to teach in Maryland, I can locate you at Williamsport, Washington Co.  You should go to Baltimore;  from thence get a ticket through to Hagerstown per Baltimore and Ohio R.R.  You will have to change cars at Weaverton, I think inquire of the conductor.  When you reach Hagerstown get the mail carrier to take you to the place, which is six miles distance.  Inquire for [[underlined]] Mr. Caesar Peters, [[/underlined]] and he will see you properly cared for.  Wite me as soon as you arrive.
