Miss Octavia R. Moss—

I suppose they are building a school-house at Boydton. When it is done I hope one of you will have a place there to teach.  
I do not think it best to have more than one teacher at your house when so many places have no school at all.

You mistake in supposing that where the people board a teacher, the "boards around". They pay her board at the best place that can be provided.
