User-Contributed Transcription Marietta Ohio July 10/54Mr. N. Kendall, friend and teacher, I have just returned from Meadville Ohio School; and being short of funds, I have concluded to engage in some business to better the condition of my empty pockets. My brother O.L. advises me to write you and see if there is a chance of employ for me in your locality in Rail Road business. If you think there is a chance for me to attend to some such work as clerking, or as light as that, and will inform mr of the same, what wages I might make etc, by me such information will be thankfully received. Please drop me a line as soon as convenient and I will be on the ground at the earliest notice. What route shall I take and to what point? The mail is waiting. Yours in hasteJulius Chappell Clark
