R.M. Manly Esq.:
Dear Sir
      I beg to state that on account of my scholars being farmers boys and their parents not having sown or planted a portion of their crops for them, they want me to teach on, as their children would he on their hands, idle, and as most of them are  "Rig Lads" it would not pay very well.
