Dear Sir, 
Ever since I can remember, I have been deeply interested in the various kinds of work [a...] the very poor of New York, and have wished that I, personally might have some part in that work. I graduated at Vassar nearly three years ago, and have since been [Preistess] of a village academy, and teacher in the school 
in any direct offer. I do not feel at all sure that I am fitted for such a work. I have wished that I might one day do something for that class of the N.Y. poor represented by the [negro] boys and bootblacks. My ability I believe lies in the line of teaching. My father was John H. Raymond, late president of Vassar. I graduated from that college in 83, and since have taught. I want to make it clear that I am not looking for a position, I only wish to know if a position is looking for me. I should also state that what ever work [engage] [in] must be such as to support me. 
[bottom of page, upside down] been awakened for little street boys such as boot blacks, newsboys. I am writing at length because I find it difficult to express clearly just what I mean. (Though this letter may require no answer.) (I enclose a stamp.) 
Little Nell's Prayer O Dod! make me a dood dirl! I'm a-going to be a dood little Nellie. And len you've dot to take me to Headen, will ye? O, let! I will. Well, where'd my mama and papa? Id they gone to [Fipti] (Poughkeepsie) to your house? Well I don't care. Amen. 
It gives the character of Christ's Kingdom by contrasting it. 1st with the popular expectation. Matt 5:1-16 2nd with the Mosaic [s...stern]. Mat.5:17-48 3rd with Phara'saic formalism. Mat. 6, 7:1-6 Closes by showing how this Kingdom is more. Mat. 7:7-27 
Laws of Moses governed a nation. Laws of Christ governed individual. 
Almsgiving prayer and fasting are the language of love, piety, and humility.

If you are ready for prayer or [...] when, you will [go] You look nice, Oh kind of fat & red. I cried like a sheep. You're good. I say nothing of brandy, but goodness makes the homeliest of us handsome. I want to be [...] faithful.
