You remember writing some time since offering me a shool in one of the lower counties of M.D., but I declined your offer it being just before election and not caring to go so far in the county at that time. But at this same time [[strikethrough]] toll [[/strikethrough]] told you that I would except a situation near the vacinity of any city.
