Dear Sir
Your favors received
Sorry to hear that Mrs Stuarts delay proves so unfavorable, but hope she will reach there in time to teach a couple of months under the $80 per month arrangement.
We hope that you will be able to bring those Camden trustees to their senses - Perhaps it wouldn't seem so hard for them to pay rent as to pay a teacher - and the money would do us just as much good.
Mr. & Mrs Hughes have finally decided that they cannot return South this year - Chiefly on a/c of the poor health of Mr H. Missy Ford and Jam's start for Fayetteville tonight,
Yours truly
S. N. Clark
Asst Treas
