Dear Sir:

I did not understand you.  I thought Mr. [[underlined]] Maughlin's [[/underlined]] bill ws for the smaller house, if the larger one was not granted.  Now please state where you want the two houses:  something of the condition of things in the two places, and the prospect of keeping up schools if houses are built.  And as I am in doubt about the location, send me copies of the deeds for land in the two places.  Do this right away, and if everything is correct I will make application, and I have hopes that I will secure some amount of aid for both places.  

Very Respectfully, Yours,

Miss:

You will have to close if you cannot make out the board.  If you can keep up a school of twenty-five, I will continue to pay the $20. until July, if you will look out for your own board.  Possibly you may think best to pay part of it out of your salary.

Very Respectfully, Yours,
