Martha Schofield letter to Sarah J. Ash

Sarah Ash was Martha Schofield's sister. Martha writes that Mrs. Sprague, principal of the Schofield School, has just written her that she will not be returning to Aiken after the summer. She says that she is confident they will be able to find a replacement since teachers are "plenty." She adds that women teachers are cheaper than male teachers and discusses the salary she paid Mrs. Sprague. She is considering putting an ad in the Woman's Journal.
