I herewith enclose a copy of my letter to Calvin Clark. the government having expended a large sum in building a commodious school house at 49 Helena can not afford to have the same stand idle during two months of the best portion of the school year while other parties stand ready to occupy it the usual time - an officer permitting it would deserve severe censure. Nor can it be occupied at all by teachers who refuse or neglect to comply with the few simple requirements of this department in other respects. Respectfully Yours. Wm M. Colby.
