My dear Sir,

Yours of 2d & 3d instants are red'd.  If Mr. Hervey will execute a contract on our blanks and deposit one copy with May Thibaut and another at this office, and will accept & comfortably provide for a mature, competent lady teacher, we will send one.  We despair of finding competent men. 

Concerning Lewisville, if the Bureau will guarantee protection to a mature, competent lady teacher, and notify us promptly, we will send one.

Very Truly
J.R. Shipherd
Sec'y.
