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.
