FORMS OF SOCIAL LETTERS.
1.—From a Young Lady to a Clergyman Asking a Recommendation.
Nantwich, May 18th, 1894.
Reverend and Dear Sir:
Having seen an advertisment for a school mistress in the Daily Times, I have been recommended to offer myself as a candidate. Will you kindly favor me
with a testimonial as to my character, ability and conduct while at Boston Normal School? Should you consider that I am fitted for the position, you would confer a great favor on me if you would interest yourself in my behalf.
I remain, Reverend Sir,
Your most obedient and humble servant,
Laura B. Nichols.
