Sept 7th 69.
Mr. John Kimball. Dear Sir.
Yours dated Sept 27th rec'd and I have to say in reply that I can not respond to your kind offer as it came too late.  I have a school here in this county which I have agreed to teach from the 18th day of this mo. Oct. to the 18th of Apr, next, including Six mos, at $35,00 per mo and consequently I can not come.  I am glad to inform you that a young man named Thompson Jones of this place and formerly one of my pupils will accept your offer provided you will accept him on the same conditions you propose to me. He is a very promising young man and is anxious to teach.
