  A.C. Wales Esq
        Dr. Sir
 Permit me to trouble you
 with a matter of my own, which I do, the
 more readily call on you for from the interest
 which I know you take in everything con-
 nected with the Charity School.
  
      If there be amongst the girls who
 are going out of the school this year
 a good, sprightly one, of kind disposi-
 
 tion and neat in her habits who wants
 a place I would like to take and raise
 her.  One of the youghest (all other things
 being equal) would be preferred. If we
 can get one of the right kind we shall 
 feel disposed to do weel by her.  It seems to
 me that any girl trained by such a house-
 keeper as mrs. Allen must have imbibed the
 proper qualities.
  Will you please enquire of Mrs. Allen
 about them and write me on the subject?
  
  If possible I will be with you on the first
 of June.              yours Truly
                          W.C. Earl
