New York City 

a nice looking young colored man, who brings a good recommendation from the Principal of a Public School at Yonkers, in this state. If you want to know more of him, I will send you this letter of recommendation and his address; but please understand that we [[underlined]] cannot take a single new teacher at present [[/underlined]], no matter how urgent the plea, unless he or she comes with a fund secured.

We shall be very glad whenever the trustees in Washington receive their money, and to hear that they are ready to relieve us of the teachers there.
