Dear Sir: About the time we received your last teacher, to whom we had engaged the school, at Hancock, wrote us requesting to be sent to another place, and we wrote Mr. [[underlined]] Lewey [[/underlined]] that if he was still at Hancock, and had a good school he had better remain.

Dear Sir: We are informed by one of the trustees of the school at Huntingtown that [[underlined]] Chas. S. Shadd [[/underlined]] was taken sick and has returned home, and they request another man in his place. You paid him $20.00 in advance, and we are held responsible for $6.01/100 worth of books he purchased of [[underlined]] Cushings and Bailey.

We want to appoint Miss [[underlined]] M. J. Smith [[/underlined]] (who taught at Robeyston last year) in his place for school at Clear
