I send you application on behalf of [[underlined]] Henry Brown [[/underlined]] to teach at Allen's Fresh, Chas. Co. (or rather Newport.) His application is mislaid and my clerk is away. I shall have the rental a/c approved to-day. Other matters I shall let go over till tomorrow on account of a press of business. Yours &c. Bvt. Maj., and Supt. Education.
