D.C. etc.
May 18th

Rev. W. F. Mitchell
New York City

Dear Sir:
In the absence of Maj. Van Derlip I reply to yours just received.

I think we would have no difficulty in locating teachers for the summer, but we are not yet prepared to state what the future policy of the Bureau will be with regard to rental. Neither the General Superintendent nor the Commissioner are willing to make any promises at present. As soon as anything definite is decided upon we will inform you.

Very Respectfully, Yours,
[[signature]] J. Q. Crosby [[/signature]]
Clerk.
