Dear Sir

I cannot tell you that the Bureau will aid in the Building about which you write.  I do not know how much we have done, if any please inform me if the Bureau has aided you in erecting this building and to what amount.  Was the ground bought for a school and the building erected for that only or church also?  I shall be glade to know more about the place & will do all that I can for house and school.  Am glad of your interest in the matter.

Very Respectfully Yours
