Sept. 8  9
Miss Octavia R. Moss

Yours of the 21st Ult. would have been answered immediately if I had been at home.  Have just returned from a long absence in the North.  Enclosed find $5.00 for Aug. Peabody. 

In regard to your sister, I should be very glad to have her come to Virginia to teach, but it would not be possible to get a place for her in this city, at first.  These places are filled for the coming year.  If she took a country school and did finely she could come to the city afterward at better wages. 

If she will come I can safely promise her a good country school, with $15 per month beside her board. 

Your Truly
