Dear Sir

The school at this place seems to be in a prosperous condition  Miss Della Gordon the teacher is verry zelous in doing all she can to advance her schollars  And all the people like her verry much  We organized an Educational Society here and 42 members joined this last night  I think Miss Gordon are doing much good here  The day school Number 87 schollars on the Rool book And she has in addition a large Sunday school and the people say their children learn much faster under her tuition than before  One of the trustees told me that they had sent you satisfactory answer about the deed  All things looks prosperous in an educational point of view.  Verry Respectfully &c
