Dear Sir

Enclosed please find transportation tickets issued last year to our teachers but were not used. If you can get the money for them I will be very much obliged. I would ask whether you can furnish me transportation for two colored children. One Spencer Henderson from Liberty to Wheeling W. Va. and the other Sallie Preston to Bellefont Pa. They are both under twelve years of age. I have secured them good homes. I would like to send them the 20th of this month. We have much to be proud
of in defeating the Hunnicut clique. Most of our schools will close the 1st of June. Please answer soon

Very Respectfully
A M Stradling
