duly of the time at which you
may make your selection.

Our object is to secure intelligent
Church{underlined} families first -- those that are
likely to aid us in our plans, -- feeling
themselves to be of us. -- Then, other
intelligent families that have a
general sympathy with our objects.

We should like very much to
have the number of families, that
would take boarders, increased in-
definitely at the outset, supposing them
to be of the description we speak of,
as these would facilitate our work.

I remain, dear Madam,

Very faithfully & truly
yours,

Leonidas Polk.

To

Mrs. C. M. Sandels. --
