Dear Sir:

I send you ten blanks.  Ten were sent you Nov. 11th.  Don't see what you have done with them.  Suppose you are supplied with registers.  I send you circular:  please answer questions without delay.  I want "Pleasant Valley" school in operation.  Cannot we get it started?

I send you blanks for reimbursing transportation.

I will get him transportation immediately if you say so.
