Dear Sir
I visited the school at this place and found about 34 scholars present with Mr James R. Hamilton their teacher at work leading on the wildest set of scholars I ever found in any school I pitched into the scholars and in  about 15 minutes I had order and spent some time with the school and all seemed to take the advice given verry well The House as you seen is well finished with a good lot fenced in and looks verry Respectable No. of scholars on Rool Book 36 and about 27 average attendance

Verry Respectfully yours
