She also mentions hearing from their brother William Woodbridge, though it is difficult to make out further details about their communication because the third page is crosswritten. The third page is also damaged and…

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Sarah W. Hale

She discusses her work in education at the academy, which she describes as "arduous" but also notes that she is "richly compensated" for her services.

Part of this letter is crosswritten.
