Abstract:

The author interprets a set of letters belonging to Rev. John Jacobson from a ten year period covering Jacobson's role as inspector and principal of the Salem Academy. Most letters are addressed to Jacobson from parent's hoping to send their daughters to the school, though a few letters are personal correspondence between Jacobson and his wife. Letters reflect the school's growing reputation and population with seeking enrollment from South Carolina, Alabama, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Kentucky, and Arkansas.
