As it appears from present circumstances that the University at Charlotteville of which you are Rector will be ready for the reception of pupils during the subsequent year, I am led to enquire of you respectfully whether an English teacher would meet with encouragement from the board of trustees. I have been for some time employed in teaching the usu[. . .] branches of an English education in private families, and as I wish to make it a permanent employment, I should be much pleased by an egagement at your institution. With this view I have ventured to trouble you on this occasion, and to Know when, in what manner, and to whom, to make application for a situation at the aforesaid University.
