Nottingham Prince Georgeas Co. Md.
January 4th 1868

Bvt. Maj. Wm. L. VanDerlip

Dear Sir
I am here at this school House and it has been framed and the frame set up a verry substantial one and the workmen have been waiting for window frames but I made an agreement with them to go in the woods and get out the sleepers and put up the rafters and shingle the House and I would write to you for windows and sash and flooring plank for the House if we had plank and windows I think the House could be finished in a few weeks 

Verry Respectfully
