here since when I made my bills out I made out hers and there was $10 or between 9 and 10 due me from her - and if she took her old bills as she ought and pay me what I paid her for them she would owe me more than fifty dolls - I can't present one to a person who will not say they won't pay it, for she did not learn then anything - and they are a class of people whom it will do no good to sue, for you can't make anything off of them - some of them I have compromised with and taken when they would pay - shall try and do so with all - But after doing by her as I did I made out her bill as I would any body elses and sent it to her and she says she won't pay. I have over charged her and have got more than my pay now I never believed there was a woman on Earth who would be small enough to use one as she has, and that too for less than ten dolls - it takes but a few cents to buy some folks and I find more and more of them every day - now I don't care how deep you are in with her, I just ask you to keep your eyes open - out for your school's so he don't have her one of your Teachers if you wish to get along Again. I am told Sarah is only going to stay one year - if so, it is the worst argument you could possibly possibly make, to have her come at all - for when she leaves your Female Department will be down for a year - if you had consulted me about Teachers, I know you would have been better off - if you had got a good man or woman besides Sarah, and better a woman, who could teach music and the other Branches and thus assist you, you would make $500 by the bargain whereas now if you don't lose that amount I am mistaken - But do the best you can - I shall talk with Bro Bartlett the minister here, and he can tell you - it is too long to write - I intended to send Sarah fifty dolls but I have such work settling and so many disputing bills and deductions to make that I shant have enough to get us out of Town even after selling the Piano - Do you make it an invariable rule that every person rich or poor big or little male or female who enters the school shall pay you for the time they enter before you receive them as students - let them squirm as much as they please - do it - it will be hundreds of Dolls in your pocket - I will put advertisements into the Papers I shall leave here the sixth or 9th ish and will pay Sarah as soon now as possible - We had a grand exercise - better than ever before - There has been no sickness in town till with- in a week or two - there is some flux now and a little cholera - most of it, if not all, occasioned by imprudence in eating - two cases yesterday died in a few hours - I think your prospects tolerable fair - Shall leave my things for you to ship when the water rises in the fall - and whatever business I have for you to do I will leave with J. Holden Jr - We are all well save Abby and I am afraid that she has a cough that will carry her off before a great while unless we can do something for it - We have done everything that we can think but have not affected it - Perhaps a change of climate will help her - Sarah has stood like iron - she never even had the [illegible] complaint last summer nor has not this so far - She is a bright little girl - My Bowels have been strong and well so far and hope they will so continue - Miss Woodbury is well - keep your eye peeled when you come here - for you will find any quantity of wolves dressed up in sheeps clothing and if opportunity offers they will threw off the fleece and show the hair and teeth - look out for them - Direct your next to Galesburg Knox Co Ill - If nothing happens we shall be there before the 20th Your Brother P.
