I want everybodys school to succeed, indeed I do. But I dont want mine to be hindered and it shall not if I can help it. It is my pride [[?]] to my fair character, I care not for hardships. I am well and strong. But I wont brook indignities or falsehoods. I will go to the bitter end before Col Obrien shall take away my good name. I am ashamed of none of my actions, and I honor and venerate Moral worth all any one can. Pure Morals is of highest standard of Woman worth and for that reason.
