Discussing with you regarding matters of work, shortage, and acceptance
Mr. Kuhn is qualified because he is a teacher ⟦...⟧
the old ones in which an agricultural impact was left.
Mr. Kuhn has practiced the teaching profession for about 14 years
in both French and Arabic languages. His confidence in teaching
various classes, whether secondary or primary, may benefit you in
organizing your school. He is married, in the fourth decade of
his life, and has two children. I must add that the opinion of
Mr. Kuhn has a good practical reputation, as I was a student
under him in the French language two years ago, and I am certain
that he will gain your satisfaction if you decide to accept him.
Finally, I hope you accept this letter of mine, for if a subject
is highlighted for Kuhn, I would have performed a useful service for my school in return for
its many services, and if not mentioned, then at a suitable opportunity
the rest of my school and greeting you from afar, and I hold for you the best
memories.
Please accept my highest respect
Sincerely,

So I followed the teaching profession and practiced it for about
fifteen years, and I was appointed to the official ⟦examination⟧
committees ⟦line⟧ and therefore I am ready, in this case, to
teach in your institute the Arabic and French languages,
primary and secondary, and there is no way now to praise myself
regarding how well I master these two languages in all their branches.
My request to you, upon your receipt of my letter, is to send
me a word informing me about the working hours and the required
conditions, so that I may prepare to go immediately ⟦line⟧
Please accept, sir, the assurances of my highest respect 1 - 10
