F.9. Vol 1/69. R.F. & A.L. Va. 
 
case the tenure of the buildings wd be very uncertain and though the Assocn. would be very reluctant to break up so well established and good a school they may be obliged to do so.

The Board therefore respectfully request information as to the intentions of the Bureau in regard to renewal of lease, or advice as to the continuance of the school.

Respectfully,
