Prof. N. Kendall

Dear Sir:

          Yours of June 4th is received. Accept my thanks for the communication.

In reply would say that Doct. Porter made favorable mention of you. I shall retain more of my present agents if they desire but would furnish books ? at reduced prices & give commission for schools when sales are made so that it should be an object to canvass with my work.

     There are four or five of the Southern States in which a fine business could be done with my works the coming season.

I think I shall not have any additional agents by the months. I shall retain those which I have I employ them to do what I call the "grubbing" the pioneer work when there is not interest enough to make much sales. The sales come after the grubbing. I shall be at Dayton O. & at Pittsburg at meeting of Teachers Association , Can I not meet you there?
