Supt of School

The Trustees of the Church had a consultation last Sunday a week ago, I found them them extremely supicious; This is in consequence of Mr. Stewarts operation It was agreed to allow me the use of the Church as a school room for the present the Church is not finished, but they intend to finish it as soon as possible, and when that is done, it can not be used as a school room: This is owing to the fact that the children have injured and abused the seats windows &c. to a considerable degree it has not yet been decided what rent I will have to pay for the use of the house some of them spoke of charging $20.00 a month, but I said that amount was more than you expected to pay, I can not use the house evening nor can I get the Baptist Church. I have been trying to find a house suitable for school house but have so far been unsuccessful
