User-Contributed Transcription Owensboro 30th Jany "52Mr. Kendal:Dear Sir,Since writing to you some weeks since, a change has come over the prospect I then had of forming a joint school. A gent has visitedone place and has made such arrangements for establishing a female seminary as to preclude any likelihood of our forming a mixed school that would be alike profitable to you and myself. The gent (Mr Walker) is your successor at Mt Washington. I regret this state of things will forbid my holding out any inducements for your locating here. With best wishes for your success and respects to Miss KendalI remainYours trulyWm. J. Duke
