Format Correspondence

User-Contributed Transcription very much to hear directly and particularly how you are doing etc. I have no doubt at all that your doing well for past experience justifies me in forming this opinion. I know nothing about the systems of teaching in Ohio, but I presume it is nearly the same as in Ky with your plan of teaching, your industry and your abilities, I assure of your success anywhere. I understand that our teachers have handed into their resignation to the trustees, an occurrence that was entirely unexpected to me, for the school is in an unusually prosperous condition, there has been an average of 75 pupils this session, there has been a unity of effort to support the school, which unhappily is not always manifested every where in relation to such a thing. I do not know of anything in the way of news which would be apt to interest you much. Mr. Arthur Beauchamp and Mr. Buckner were ordained to the ministry a short time ago
