John Whitney writes to Amos A. Phelps about arrangements for Whitney to teach at a school in Hopkington upon Phelps's request. He writes, "Mr. Parker informed me that you was desirous of obtaining two teachers, and being in great hast when in Amherst he requested me to engage some one to teach the other school. I have this morning obtained one whom I have no hesitency in recommending. It is Mr. Farnhan of the junior class..He wishes me to mention however that he cannot teach short of 20 dollars per month."
