The letter reads: Dear Friend, I am requested by the trustees of the school in this village to write to you to see if you have a pupil that will graduate this spring that you can recommend for this school. It is the school that I have taught some time. We want a superior
teacher or none. We must have an [sic] man of experience, good disciplinarian, apt to teach, willing to keep up with the real improvements of the day, good moral character if pious all the better. The wages will be about $30 for the first 3 months and if good satisfaction is given they will be raised to $35 per month and board himself. If you have a teacher that will answer our purpose please to write to me without delay. Give my respects to Miss Chichester and tell
her that her friends are well. I am at presently engaged in the Owego Academy. Yours with respect and etc. Charles R. Coburn
