making good progress.

By request of the Trustees, I have no school today and to=morrow; it being the reason of Whitsuntide, they are holding a Festival and Fair, as well as giving on exhibition by the children. I have, outside of school hours, been training the children in elocution and in rehersal of their pieces, for several days hard.  Tusday, at 4 o'clock, P.M., I am to [[reliaes?]] a [[reeunion?]], at Mt. Zion. The Trustees reveed my services in this respect some five weeks ago.  They seem to look at it as a great vacation.

They are all very zealous about keeping up the school, without vacation. I can stay all summer,

Let me hear from you. Learn when you earn.

Respectfully, [[signature]] J. Wesley Eddy [[/signature]].
