Dear Sir:- 
Will you be good enough to tell us where the schools you want supplied are situated? If you can indicate ten Schools that are prepared for teachers, and can assure us that the board of the Teachers will be Secured for them by the people, we will do our best to furnish them. We have no fund to draw from, Excepting that which the Bureau provides, and we do not feel entirely certain of the amount of that or of the condition on which it is obtainable. We [[want? wait?]] information from head quarters.

Sincerely Yours
