User-Contributed Transcription Deerfield Aug. 4th 1852Mr. KendallDear SirYour letter I have just rec'd *contents noted; I also rec'd a letter from L. White saturday eve, upon the subjects before us & answered it sabbath eve, but it takes a letter so long to go between the places, he probably did not receive it before you wrote me, I wrote him that I thought I should like the situation, very much if I could obtain the consent of my family whom I should be obliged to leave. I also requested him to accompany you to Deerfield. From what I read in your letter, I feel that I shall be happy to lend my feeble ability to render the "musical department" acceptable to you and your pupils. Respectfully yours, J.N. FullerN. KendallP.S. If possible we hope to see you in D. before you leave, if not please write me again and I will meet you at P. J.N. Fuller
