Dear Sir: I take pleasure in recommending to your favorable consideration the application of Miss Hannah Alexander for the position of teacher in the public school at Weymouth.
Miss Alexander is a graduate of the Davidson Seminary, and for the past year has taught a school in this place. My children have been among her pupils, and their progress has been entirely satisfactory to me.
Miss Alexander is a strict disciplinarian, an excellent teacher, and is thoroughly competent to conduct the school for which she applies.
Trusting that you may see fit to bestow upon her the appointment she seeks, I am.
Yours very respectfully, ALICE MILLER.

My Dear Miss Lee:
Permit me to explain my failure to keep my appointment with you this evening. I was on my way to your house, with the a.s.surance of a pleasant evening, when unfortunately I was very unexpectedly called from home on very important business.
I regret my disappointment, but hope that the future may afford us many pleasant meetings.
