And loand him a small stove of the Board that was not in use but temporarily till the Board should hear and send for the stove, these acts were not done clandestinely but as I supposed with the knowledge of the Board or of their agents they have often visited both shops for Black Boards and Desks

But Mr Lehman, information is incorrect in any respect where it is intimated that at any time or in any way I have appropriated to my individual uses a single plank or board belonging to the Board of Education. And as Regards the vague charge made without giving the accusers name that Mr Vandervort was not the right man, I beg leave to refer the Board to what I have accomplished while in their actual employment Leaving my work to testify of my fidelity as a Forman or trustee and of my competency as a mechanic

I Remain
Very Respectfully
Your Obdt Servt
J M Vandervort
