Rev. John Kimball

Dear Sir

This comes to inform you that I am here and received your letter dated the 16th being the first I have received since I came over here on this side of the Bay. There is no school here at Saulsburry and I do not see much likelyhood of getting one started soon as there seems to be some dificulty betwen the school trustees and those of the school arising from the fact that the school House is not a school House but was built some years ago for a class room.  We had a large meeting yesterday but it being Sunday we could not quarl (?) with the people as I would wish to do and they have a spertual meeting going on they appointed this night week to meet and sent the matter the little old House is not worth contending for I would not give $75 dollars for it
