I think I will go out next week, I have not got a school yet, I believe I told you that I wrote to Jas. Smith about the school in his district he said that they were to have an election for director the next week & if Ben Fuller was elected no one need apply as his son & daughter both wanted the school, but would let me know again, but have not heard from him yet, I am sorry that I did not teach in the country last winter, I could have got 22 dol a month, & my board would not have been more than half as much as it was here, and another thing it don't take half as much to dress in the country as it does in town.  Till Edar is teaching in Ankany's district 22.00 & her board don't cost her anything, I want to get a school & begin teaching by the 1st of April but I will keep you posted.  O! I am so glad that I decided to teach.
 Now for a little gossip & news, you remember Mat Nicholson, he went to England last fall a short time after you went away & was married a few weeks ago, he intended to come
