the price of Second Readers, as all we buy of [[underlined]] Cushings and Bailey [[/underlined]] at the same price.  I presume you made some mistake in directing your letters.

If he do, then, leave the letter in his office, and write me a note stating the day you put it in his office, and I will see that he sends it to me.

Yours &c.,

Dear Sir:

Miss [[underlined]] Howard [[/underlined]] can to to [[underlined]] Dawsonville, Montgy. Co. [[/underlined]]  She leaves here in the [[underlined]] Rockville [[/underlined]] stage.

I think perhaps it would be well to let Miss [[underlined]] Gloster [[/underlined]] to to help Miss [[underlined]] Whittington [[/underlined]] till the 1st of April, provided she will agree to take a separate school after that time.  The school will fall off in the spring.  Tell Miss [[underlined]] Howard [[/underined]] to call on me as she goes through the city.

Yours Respectfully, 
Bvt. Maj., and Supt. Education.
