Speedwell P.O. 
June 19 68

Christians

The Rev E.H.H. Prosser has a congregation in our neighbourhood preached at our School-house last Sabath -  he told me a few days since he was somewhat acquainted with thee and offered to recommend me to thy favour.

Also kindly offered to lone me some Sabath School Story Books -

The Sabath School Reading choice if thou can obtain such a thing would greatly aid me as I have so little assistance in way of Teachers -  My neighbours think they say it is a great and good work but some think it a very pleasant job & so hold themselves aloof -  Hoping to hear from thee soon-

Respectfully 
Julia E. Kyle
