Mr. Kendal: Dear Sir, Since writing to you some weeks since, a change has come over the prospect I then had of forming a joint school. A gent has visited one place and has made such arrangements for establishing a female seminary as to preclude any likelihood of our forming a mixed school that would be alike profitable to you and myself. The gent (Mr Walker) is your successor at Mt Washington. I regret this state of things will forbid my holding out any inducements for your locating here. With best wishes for your success and respects to Miss Kendal I remain Yours truly Wm. J. Duke
