and Sarah. I referred them to Dr. Williamson, to the Trustees at Mt. Washington and to the Trustees here for the Character of you both. I shall write to Dr. W,, and have him write them relative to you both if you desire to go there. Shall get Bro. Weaver to write a recommend and have the Trustees sign it and send it to them in a day or two--and try and get you the place. T.J. Sawyer is trying to get it for some of his friends but I shall out-general? him. Will you and she go if we cannot? You can prepare sermons enough this Summer to last you a year there and thus not have hard hard time. We told them that at those Salaries we would teach the School without other assistance the first year, if it did not average over 100 students. The Scholars will not be at all advanced to begin with --you then could work Lydia in and have her with you all time and prepare her so that she could the place of the first teacher that they hired. If you two will go I have about come to the conclusion to give up the place to you. You will then at your age have a large Salary than any Teacher in the United States Save the President of some dozen Colleges. I told them that Sarah would not go for less than the sum stated. You would not, if your health would permit you to perform the labor if not you might go for one or two hundred Dolls less. Write me on the reception of this & let me know what you will positively give me all the particulars so that I shall not act in the dark & in trying to get both schools loose both. This school begins about the first of next Sept. So that you both will have ample time to get prepared and make all arrangements, if these both fail there is another one in Georgia where they want me so that between the three we can get two. I have not written to any of them till they wrote me, and hence I think I stand a good Chance to get them now I think I have offered to do something do you. Will you accept it? I have ten dolls of Mass. money on hand--it is all I have, I send it to Sarah. Money is hard to get hold of. I will send it as fast as I can get it. Write immediately Your Bro. P.R. Kendall
