Rev Edw F Hatfield D.D.
Com'r. Presb. Com. Home Miss

Dear Sir:

By the withdrawal of the New York Branch F.U. Com. from the most of its educational field, a number of superior teachers proved by experience, are left without employment, who ought not to be so left.  I will mention Mr. & Mrs. A.C. Burbank who have taught three years at Lawrenceville, in a difficult field, with excellent success.  They are devout Christian people (Congregationalists I think) well educated, skillful, and of long experience.  I should be glad to see them in charge of your interests at Fredericksburg.  It is quite an important place and requires a man to give the proper tone, and to develop the spirit of self-help among the people.

If you think favorably of this, will you forward this letter to Mr. Waring for his views.

Very Respy
R.M. Manlly
Supt Education
