Princeton N.J. Sept.26th 1868
Rev R M Manly
Dear Bro;
Yours of the 19th inst has just come to my hands. I have weighted the matter carefully and can  not conclude yet that it is my duty to go to King William and Bro E.P Smith coincidy much me in that opinion. I have three applications from leading colored men to come to schools now vacant within ten miles of my present situation. The A.M.A. have returned one lady teacher to that vicinity, and I know of five schools that want teacher beside those which Mr Jones has supplied. I am obliged to you for the interest you have taken in my case, and if I should decide to go to King William  I should wish to visit
