Washington, D. C.
June 8' 1868.

The bearer, Mr. Thomas H. Scott has been a member of the [[underlined]] Normal Department [[/underlined]] of this University, ever since its organization in May, 1867.  He has made excellent progress, and I think him fully competent to do good service in teaching the Common English Branches. - His conduct and scholarship, according to our records, have been almost if not quite perfect, and he has been [[underlined]] faithful, always, [[/underlined]] in the discharge of his duties.

I decree him also a Christian.
