I wrote you the other day.  You said nothing about the receipt of my letter in yours of the 22d.  I want you to make your way up through to Washington, visiting the places on the way, and get here about the 4th of July, if you can.  I want to send you to Montgomery Co.  You do not write often enough.  I do not know where to find you.

Dear Sir:

Please forward these papers to the teachers and have them sign where I have written their names in pencil.  Please have them sign it right;  if not I will have to send back and make a good deal of trouble.  Let them sign over the pencil and I will erase the pencil marks.  Please send me their post office addresses.  They will forward their monthly school reports through you.  I will write you about the lumber for which you ask in a few days.  I want these papers signed and returned immediately.

Very Respectfully Yours,
