Dear Sir:

When you have commenced your school, write me how many schools you have.  I cannot pay so much as $15. unless you have as many as 50 pupils.

The Peabody Fund of which I wrote you is now exhausted.

I shall try to visit your school.

Yours Truly
R.M. Manly
Supt Ed.

Dear Sir:

Yours of the 16th is at hand.  Mr. Hunter had no warrant for promising any specific sum;  but only to investigate and report.

I will not be able to appropriate more than $200. for your place.  The people had better build smaller or do more themselves.

Yours Truly
R.M. Manly
Supt Ed
