[Letter from Susie White to Oliver Young Bonner, July 16, 1907]

      
      Fairfield, Texas
          July 16, 1907
          
Mr O. Y. Bonner
   Steward’s Mill
Dear Sir:
   My time being 
limited Saturday, while 
in your community, I 
failed to see you in 
regard to your school.
We had heard that 
Mr McAdams would not 
be at the store that 
afternoon, and thought 
probably you would 
and would get to see 
you as we came back..

      [p. 2]
      
I was disappointed in not
getting to have a talk 
with you.
   Please consider my 
application for your school.
There is no need of my 
undertaking to try to tell 
you whether I gave sat-
isfaction as a teacher or 
not, as you have a bet-
ter opportunity to find 
that out than I have.
But of course if the 
trustees have confidence 
enough in me to 
give me the school 
I will do my duty 
by it to the best 
of my ability.

      [p.3]

   Thanking you in
advance for your 
future kindess
      I am
   Yours very respectfully,
          Susie White
