Fairfield.  Dec. 29th 1869

Mr Manly

Dear Sir -

Mr Hunter said when he was here, by proper application, he thought I could receive $10 per month from the Peabody Fund.  If such a thing can be, I should be very much pleased, as I am entirely dependent on myself, and my means are but limited.  My school is getting along nicely, but the parents cannot understand my policy in not using the rod.  I do feel tempted sometimes to do something, when some piece of mischief is brought to light, but I find kind words are as effectual as blows.

Truly Thine
Emma F. Haslam
