Dear Brother,
Yours of the 23d is received. I hasten to reply.

1. Mr. Marsh misapprehended my views if he supposed I intended only two teachers for Cap. Hill — The understanding was, that perhaps it would be best to begin with two, & as soon as the two schools were fairly started, to send on the other two, when needed.

2. In regard to Judiciary Square, I am glad you think three are needed there. Our Secretaries are very anxious to make the higher school, a model school, in which desire I most fully share. But to make a "model school" then you want a model teacher. Who shall she be? We want Miss Stebbins
