Dear Anna
Your letter duly received Saturday. I presume you are right in your conclusion about the new hall.
Probably it is best to stick to the old place - for the present at least. And try to earn what you can. Be on the look out for chance to work whenever you can profitably.
Consult Mrs. Johnson about it.
Moreover you had better go to Mr Laira, or whoever is in charge of that matter, and get a chance as much as you can to teach classes in Prep dep It will be good for you in every respect, even for your schoolarship
