Dear Sir

I write to inform that I am here at this place, the people here are doing nothing as they are of many other places.  But he had a meeting last night and we had a large turnout considering the short notice And after "talking" to them on the importance of Education we taken up a subscription for a public school to the amount of $42.00 Organized elected a teacher and opens "their" school Monday at 9 oclock free to all who will send their children. They say that Mrs. Anna R. Gross was as good a teacher as they wanted and being there and all acquainted with her prefered her to her husband their former teacher and she will serve them for twenty dollars per month and board her self she will report to you Monday and to the association also if required
