Lincoln, Neb., October 8 1891

Prof. C. E. Bessey,

Lincoln, Nebraska.

Dear Friend:-I want the Agency which was undertaken with many misgiving to be useful to all and honest with all. It is my purpose to find out all I can about a teacher and to know all a man can know about what I am recommending. It is to be hoped that we can be of mutual service.

To present myself and the Agency properly before school men and school boards who do not know me as well as you do, I want to publish on one of my circulars to be printed soon a few opinions from those whom I count my friends.

1. Need of a personal Ageney. 2. My standing as a man and as an educator. 3. My judgment as to teachers and school work. 4. My evident intention as you believe to deal honestly with both school boards and teachers. Do not follow this order at all. Make the letter short and say only what you can conscientiously. May I hear from you soon?

Your friend,
