Dear Sir:

The rental allowance is a matter of course, and is paid quarterly to the Treasurer of the Soc.  He forwards his bill to me [[strikethrough]] to me [[/strikethrough]] and I verify it, under instructions, allowing $10 per month for each regular full commissioned teacher, provided there was an average attendance of 30 pupils for each teacher. This I determine from the teachers reports.

You sent two reports for Dec. I only need one each month.

The trifle of Peabody money allowed this state this year (only half what it was last year) will be exhausted on schools that have no society to back them.

Yours Truly
