Miss M. H. Daniel
Yours of the 20th is at hand. Rent will be sent you for half of Nov. It is quite impossible for me to continue rent for any recess in the school except for ordinary holidays because the money for rent is obtained from Washington upon presenting reports showing that the school is actually in progress.

If you open your school again on Feb. 1st as you now contemplate, you may write me how many pupils you have, and I will do for you the most that I may be able. Please remember the Bureau has not a tenth part of the means necessary to maintain a general system of schools, and does not expect anywhere to pay full salaries. Its policy is to help those communities which help themselves
Yours truly
R. M. Manly
