Miss S. L. Daffin

Your note is recd  Mr. Oliver was in my office when it came. He thinks the school 12 miles above here of which he wrote you will not be such a school as you ought to be at the head of. I judge so too. I can provide you with a large and better field if the means of your support can be provided [as, for instance, at Coalfield or at Ashland] I will write to Mr. Murray and solicit your reappointment for Ashland.

Very Respfy--
