Dear sir

I drop you these few lines to inform you that Mr Aron Weems are getting along verry well under the circumstances he has to contend with. He have on the rool Book 49 day schollars and they attend he says verry well  The House have been plastered around the walls on sides and sealed over head  And the debt on the House now they say is 42 dollars  The deed is at Marlboro but Mr Weems says that he will send for it in a few days and will then forward to you a copy  The people here are beginning to see the importance of sending their children to school and the teacher thinks his school will be much larger

I am Respectfully your obedient servant
