Achsah's room 4 1/2 o-clock A M MConelsville June 19th 1852

Br Nathan Although it has been but a short time since I addressed a letter to you, I thought as Achsah gave me the privilege of writing that I would improve the time. - I arrived here in the C last Thursday morning, found the friends well, doubtless you have e'er this received the letter written by me in May and consequently know what my ocupation was at that time - for some cause or other. (it is thought by many, (as there was no very plausible reason assigned.) that it was religious predjudice.) that I was discharged. I cannot feel as thought I had done anything to require a discharge. I felt very much disappointed that I did not continue the term though as it was my first attempt, I thought to teach this summer so as to have some funds to begin the year with that I wished to devote to study, but have come off second best. I do not want to give it up entirely I am afraid that if I do not get employment that you will be second best at the end of the year. as regards my tuition. You see I am determined to go to school at some rate now. I will tell you what my wishes are. - those are to get into the Primary Department of the Institute for three or six months or a year, if I can do that I shall be enabled to pay part and perhaps all of my tith that I shall have to contract if I go to school, - what think you of the plan? if you approve of it will you be so kind as to say a word in my behalf to the Trustees? - as I understand that that department is in their hands - will Sarah come to me when you do? I shall be glad to see you both. give my love to her and say to her that I would be happy to hear from her at her earliest convenience. Brother & Sister have given up going to NE this summer. Mr. & Mrs. Eaton wish to be remembered, Mr. E. has just returned from an eight week's tour he says that the prospect is much better for students than it has ever been before. [On the Side:] When Jesse was up here he went to the country to see me I had a very pleasant visit with him. I think he is a better boy than he was a year ago. - but good bye write me soon will you not? in haste, thy sister as ever Bettie G. Bennet
