Dear Sir
As this is my first experience, in teaching, I hope you will excuse all mistakes. The teacher, that was at this place, had to go home. Her mother was very ill. So Gen. Armstrong sent me here from the Normal school, at Hampton Va. My school opened Apr. 19. I have not had many scholars this month. The people have been very bussy on their farms, next month there will be more I think. I have only been sent here as a substitute
