R4 w5 as a school (which you approved of in a recent letter) for six months, and to request that you will be pleased to obtain a Protestant Teacher to commence duty about 1st Sept. at a Salary not to exceed $60.00 Sixty dollars per month accomodation available on the school premises with a Kitchen attached is more suitable for a male teacher.
