Major:

I have the honor to state that Mr Butler reports that the land for M't. Hope School House is paid for and the deed signed. The land for Hunting Creek School House is owned by minors. The Orphans Court has consented to the sale, the money is ready to be paid, and next Tuesday the purchase will be consumated.

Mr Butler also reports he has stopped work on this building until the deed is made out.

I am Sir
Very Respectfully &c
