Dear friend,— I certainly am going to teach this year. My school starts the 7th of Sept. I have the primary department of a two-room school just about seven miles from Saginaw and home. Only the first three grades so my work won[‘]t be very hard. I heard from A.R. this week. I suppose you hear from him once in awhile. M. Gaugier.”
