Mr. Pilson Dear Sir
According to agreement, I inform you with pleasure that Mr. Greenlee will certainly teach the next session.
And I am candid in recommending him to your patronage as both a gentleman + a Christian who I believe will be faithful in the moral and mental culture of those confided to his charge. For particulars see notices in Gazelle + Cen. Presbyterian
respectfully
