The number of my own school this week has been the largest we have ever had.
Can you send me eight more desks, so that I can transfer a few more scholars to my 1st department & I should be glad to receive them very soon.
The package of books sent me on the 10th inst. has not been received and I fear it has been lost. The Quartermaster did not receive the "Bill of Lading" until two or three days after the boat, having the packages on board, had passed, and so is not at all culpable.
Yours truly,
Josiah Beardsley
