There not being plank enough left for Desks. We are very thankful for your assistance in helping us. I have consulted the Trustees & they think it best to pay for the building befor they can make up money for the support of a Teacher The expenses of Building has already cost us $370.24/100 & leave us in debt to the Builders $83.50/100. The Trustees think it best to pay the balance due before they can rais money for the support of a Teacher as the Builder is very anxious for his pay. I hope you will write to me soon & state to Mr Jennig the condition of our affairs. Very Rspt Yrs [[signature]] Richard Douglass [[/signature]]
