Dear Mr. Manly

We cannot get a meeting of the Committee until monday next - see Washburn & tell him to make no positive engagement as to let until we get your opinion - Write at once as to the wisdom of [[strikethrough]] pr [[/strikethrough]] receiving this building & moving it at an expense of $500 to a leased lot-

Mr. Chen says all the N.F.N.F.RA can have it as the Bureau has the power to give it to one if the associations for school purposes - or it can be purchased for a triffling amount if sold - Is this the best we can do in Richmond._
write at once

truly yours
Wm Geo Hawkins
