Transcription of Letter 1:

Will be in school this summer anyway.

Lebanon Jct., Ky.

March 3rd 1926
Miss Mattie McLean
Dear Miss Mattie:

I have heard that Frisbie Hall might be in need of a matron, and am would like to put in an application for the place. I know you remember me and I would appreciate it very much if you would use your influence with Mr. Dr. Cherry in getting the place for me. I have, as you perhaps remember, two boys, now in high school. And it takes all I can make to keep us up. Therefore I feel like I will never be able to come back to school to finish unless I can get work to do to make our way while in school. My mother and father are willing to come and stay with me and keep the hall while I am at school.

I also have a younger sister who should be in school, and a brother now in school at Murray.

I wrote Miss Schneider [Florence Schneider] concerning this, she has always been a dear friend to me and helped me thru many rough places, and I feel like if you and she both will help me, or intercede for me I will be sure of the place when vacated.

Please answer at your earliest convenience

Sincerely yours
Sadie Y. Holeman
Lebanon Jct., Ky.

Transcription of Letter 3:

[Renters to Miss Compton Jan. 29]

Dr. H.H. Cherry
Bowling Green, Kentucky

Dear Dr. Cherry:

Am surprised to learn that my house has not been listed with you for rent as one whom I thought to be a school representative called on me last summer saying he was taking the list of all houses in the village that would be for rent during the fall semester. I gave in mine as being for rent.

As to the terms or rates, I think my house should bring $15.00 per month as I have it very well furnished and left it nice and clean, calcimining the walls and doing some inside painting before leaving; however I shall be glad to rent it at whatever terms you think best.

[this should be $16 at least – see how furnished before listing]

Our school doesn’t close until May so will be back for both summer terms.

Respectfully
Sadie Y. Holeman
