Format Correspondence

User-Contributed Transcription to a young whiskered and mustached Frenchman whom her father dislikes and will not consent to her marrying, he being a perfect Stranger from the Island of Martinique. She has therefore resolved to leave the country and go to Texas. So says rumor. She intends going and I believe the above is the reason. All other persons about as you left them. I believe that I told you that Lewis Hall and Sallie? have Parted what God joined together , and one lives in Louisville the other in Mt. W. you ask about Jimmy - he has grown some goes to School learns a little, and I think he is a smart little fellow. I intend to have some authority in the course of his education. Fannie is now I reckon grown and I think a very interesting Girl. She plays well also sings. her absence in this family would make a great vacancy. give Miss Kendal Mothers best respects & tell her that she was gratified to receive her note enclosed in my letter but hopes that the next will be a long letter. and that soon our School is doing tolerable well under Mr. Walker, and Miss Pound an Irish lady, but it is thought that they will not continue long one of the Trustees ? Snapp told me to say to you that he wanted you and Miss K. back again. So does every body; if you were here now in the Academy you could do much better than you did at anytime of your engagement, more persons wish to send to the school more than did then. they are more able. Mr. Snapp thinks that the place will be open by next August and wants you to take charge
