Format Correspondence

User-Contributed Transcription in the evening I think of you and of Messers Harris & Snow.My health has been better this winter, thus far, than it has for several seasons past, but I have as much to do as I am able. There is some work, even in a small school, and I find that if I I would be quick in giving instruction, quick in answering any or all of the queries which may be brought up, I must look over each days exercises before the recitations occur. But, you know all this.I received a letter from Mr. Nelson yesterday, he is about to return home. I should be extremely happy to hear from you soon of course, but, knowing that you have much to do, and that you have other, and perhaps more deserving correspondents, I will not press you hard.Yours, as ever, B.L. Draper.Mr. N. Kendall.
