Dear Sister
Your most welcome letter
reached me last night and tho' Ma and
Pa wrote yesterday, I can't imagine
what I am to tell you, still accord
ing to your desire I write that the Let
ter may meet you in Albermarle. Now
about our arrangements, we are just
as puzzled as you are; everything
remains just as it was when ma wrote
to Nina last [Tuesday?]. The man who has
our house is still trying to get a house
but as far as we can see without much
prospect of success. Pa has not heard
again from Clarke, and Ma says she
does not know what to advise you
to do. That you know the circumstanc
es as well as we do and she reckons can
judge as well. We are very unwilling
[Page 2]
that you should be separated from
us if it is possible for us to be together
with any degree of comfort, and it
is impossible for us to know until
[?] R comes whether we can be
or not. Ma thinks if you should con
clude to make an arragement with
with Mr. C that perhaps you might
make an arrangement only for 5
months, leaving you at liberty to
come home at that time if we are
so situated as to desire it. Or if you
don't like to do that, how would it do
for you to write to Mr. C leaving
him at liberty to make other arrange
ments if he can, while at the same
time you tell him that if you should
within the next week or two
conclude to teach next year you
will let him know. If we go to Clarke
which at present seems the most like
ly, we will have to board the first four
months or if we can get sitautions
there to teach, perhaps only for [our?]
board during that time, would you
rather do that or teach in Wilson?

If Mr. [?] gets a house before Pa
hears from Clarke he will take the
house in [Alexandria?] and take the chan
ces for a school there, but those chan
ces are I suppose much hindered by
his not being able to advertise until
to late. We can't make the arrangements
about the [?] house which you
suggest
