Deep Creek 
Norfolk County 
8 Nov 1869
Rs Manley Esqr 
Dear Sir. - 
My hurried departure from Richmond, and the day rainy. I was not able to call on you to return thanks for the kind interest you took in me a stranger; for it is entirely through you that I obtained employment from Mr. Jones. I now beg you to accept my thanks. 

I am getting on pretty well with the School here, and the people unhesitatingly admit that I am the best Teacher that has been sent to them.  This is for others more competent to say.  I promise I will do  my best.  I was never before.   

Transcription Notes:
The name under the date is as close as I can get it, maybe take a look at it.
