| Message Abstract | Closed her school on the 27th inst. Requests to have check for salary sent to care of [[underlined]] Wm Perkins, [[/underlined]] Chestertown, or addressed to her at 114 South 7th St. New Bedford, Mass. |
| Message Body | Our school closed on the 27the inst. with forty-one scholars. I closed before the last of the month because the ceiling of the school-room is so low that the room at this season of the year is very warm and uncomfortable for both teacher and scholars. Taking all things into consideration the progress of the school for this month has exceeded my expectations. Please send my Salary for this month to Chestertwon in care of Mr. William Perkins or to my home address 114 South 7th st New Bedford Mass. |
