User-Contributed Transcription W.L.I. Marietta O. July 10, 1852.Mr. N. Kendall: It is my desire to obtain a situation where I can go on with my studies and do something towards paying my way meanwhile by teaching. I went to Dr. Regnier this morning to ascertain if there was a probability of obtaining such a situation here at the Inst.te. He informed me that it was your province to employ all necessary assistence, as you have the whole controll of the affair, and that any arrange ment that I might make with you would be satisfactory. I do not know that you are acquainted with my qualifications for teaching the common and English branches. But I will only say that if you desire to engage an assistant & think that I will will be the proper one - then I say let me know; if you do not wish to engage my services then let me know. My desire is not to obtain a situation to make money; but only to just keep along that I may now attend school a little longer. Please let me hear from you soon that I may be looking about and know what I am to do - Excuse the length of this as a business letter. I am not accustomed to write such. We are in a great flurry - Exhibition Yours in scratching haste - J.Clark(Will you write without delay if it's but three words?)
