General, 
We learn from our Superintendent in Mobile, Ala. that the College building needs repairs. The roof was injured by a severe storm and the rain beating in was doing much damage to the rooms. 
The building is Government property, exclusively, and its preservation requires the good courtesy of immediate repairs. 
I respectfully request that you will authorize its thorough repair and all necessary refitting for school purposes.
We are anticipating a full school with large results during the coming year.
I am
Very respectfully
Your Obt. Servant,
Geo. Whipple, Sec
