Rev. John Kimball,
Supt. Schools, &c

Dear Sir:
We need seats for at least 100 more pupils at the School rooms in 14th Street. We should prefer the short benches, with seats for four or five on each; but will be thankful for any. Is it in your power to furnish them?

Some small tables or desks for the teachers' use are also desirable - say six of them - those we have being mostly too large for convenience. If any are under your control, we should be glad to obtain them.

Very truly yours,
[[signature]] A.E. Newton [[/signature]],
