WILLIAMSBOROUGH FEMALE ACADEMY, 1811.
NOTICE.
I wish to inform the public, that I .have lately purchased the place where I now live, in Williamsborough, of the Rev. James K. Burch, which is a very healthy and private situation. I intend taking ten or twelve young ladies to board with me: more young ladies may be boarded in decent families—my price is seventy dollars for board and tuition. Those who may interest and encourage me in this undertaking, may rest assured of every attention being paid not only to the education, but to the morals and manners of the students—school will commence again on the 1st day of January.
Dec. 3, 1810. Charlotte B. Brodee.
