Unless you know to the contrary I doubt whether you could send Miss Hancock any where else. I do not think she would go. She has felt exceedingly sore that she is not put into the normal, and very unwilling to part with her advanced pupils, which are fitted for the normal, and has been threatening to "set up for herself" and keep her pupils, which would be a troublesome and bad precedent. If she will allow you to send her here, that binds her to the order of the system, and saves an independent movement. [If you know her address I wish you would sent it to me.]  Miss Lynch is not essential to her school; and yet I have no doubt it is the very best thing that can be done for the school to return her. I may yet be able (notwithstanding a contrary statement in my last letter to you) to extend the same assistance to Misses Hancock & Lynch as to the others.

Hurrah! for my dear noble, native Vermont!
