Dear Sir:
As I am informed by Reverend R. M. Manly that Miss M.S. Rowell, one of our teachers has been sent to your station, I take the liberty of writing to you on her behalf. We are very desirous that she shall be situated comfortably. Will you help her to find a good boarding place? She is instructed to collect enough to pay her board. Will you give her advice as to the most efficient mode of securing the money?
With Kindest regards,
Yours truly
Crammond Kennedy
Corresponding Secretary
