(20) Dollars Currency. If I succeed in getting it I will start a free school there on the first of next month. Mrs. Porter has concluded to teach Miss Campbell says that she will not teach a free school unless she is paid the highest price that is paid to any teacher male or female. I have not succeeded in getting a house yet to live in but am hopeful of success. As soon as I can get a house I shall go to housekeeping and take the teachers to board.
