User-Contributed Transcription Marietta, July 7, 1852,Dear Sir - Some time since your brother agreed to mention my name to you as an assistant in the Institute. If you intend to do without, I have nothing more to say. If an assistant is necessary, please consider me for a moment with a few negative advantages. I am not a young man. I am by no means an inexperienced teacher. Among the students who know me, I believe there is no one who would give satisfaction so general as should I, except perhaps brother Elisha. For a bare pittance paid regularly I would be willing to relieve you of many onerous burdens. Be kind enough to write me. There is much disappointment, and regret that you are not to be here at commencement. There is the usual amount of quarreling about the exhibition, but a cool head can see that it will cause little good or evil. I think the exercises will go off as well as last year. Your friends here are well. Heard from Mr. W. and Achsah this evening; from Helen the first of the week all well. Yours truly, J.H. Bennet
