Dear Sir.

I have notified all your teachers that return transportation fees cannot be allowed.

Enclosed please find letter from our travelling Agent in relation to Saml Bevans, one of your teachers at Pisgah.  This is the first information we have had of anything wrong in that quarter.  I have notified him that his services are no longer required.  Hope you will send a good man in his place.

Price's school-house at Oakville was burnt last month and he has returned home.  Major VanDerlip is away and will probably not return before April 1st.

Very Respectfully Yours
J. Q. Crosby
Clerk.

P.S.
Miss Gloucester has gone to take the school at Federaburg.
