Miss:
I think you had best remain at Darlington and bring the school up. I intend to visit you before long. How can I best get there? Miss [[underlined]] Anderson [[/underlined]] has been sent to Port Deposit, and I cannot now remove her, but hope you will both have good schools. They should furnish that house right away. Please tell them for me that they must go on and complete that house, and that they must give you a good boarding place. I send you register, blanks and rules, and expect you to report to me promptly.
Very Respectfully, Yours
