Dear Sir:

Some time since we sent you copies of blank deeds, similar to the enclosed form.

You will please cause this form to be used, as far as the State laws permit, in deeding sites for school purposes, or, at least, require that the substance of it be embodied in all deeds. 

Very respectfully,
Yours etc.
J.W. Alvord
