Should you decide to accept the offer of the committee, & of the com, & I am authorized to speak in this case for the U.F. & U.C., you may think it proper to enter at once upon your work. You will naturally desire to have the buildings for both schools put up in a convenient form (under your eye) for schools & Teacher Home &c

You will please aid Mr Chase in every way in your power, until you decide, we shall of course expect to pay you for such services about which you can talk to Mr. Chase.

You can state to our com what your ideas are about compensation, we can adjust the matter here with the ex-com. of the com. which proposition they should pay.

By the way, with such an enterprise on hand, don't you think you could raise some money north, could you have a vacation say in July & August & part of Sept. It might be a pleasant recreation

truly yours
Wm Geo Hawkins
