I graduated at Vassar nearly three years ago, and have since been [Preistess] of a village academy, and teacher in the school from which I write. While I have met with success, I think I am impressed with the idea, that God has a different work for me. If this be true, I want to know it. I expect now to return here another year, and I am not looking for a position; but if a position should be at any time looking for me, I do not wish to evade it. Whatever ability I have, lies I believe, in the line of teaching; my interest hasin 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.)But owing to a great ignorance as to the kind of working needed, and the feeling, that when God wanted me he would call me. I have never [instigated] the matter as thoroughly as was doubtless my duty. My ignorance, at least, is inexcusable, and I feel that I am doing no more than my duty when I state to an officer of the faculty my desire to do my part if I am needed and qualified. This last seems to me so important that I think from [...]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?
