Mrs. Nugent:

Governess.

STATE ST., CHICAGO, ILL., Jan. 9, 1892.

MADAM-In reply to your advertisement in to-day's Times for a Governess to teach two little girls French, German and English, I hasten to inform you that I am graduate of Vassar Class 90; that I have resided one year in Paris and five months in Vienna, sojourning in both capitals for the purpose of completing my knowledge of French and German.

I have been Governess in the family of Mr. D. P. Heap, but owing to the death of my dear little pupil, their only daughter, May, I have been thrown out of employment. In addition to my College and Academy testimonials, I beg to refer to Mrs. Heap, Jolly Park, and to the Rev. Mr. Sinclare, St. Paul's Church. Hoping to be favored by your selection, I am, madam, Yours respectfully.
