Sir-
We have our school in full progress 
The House is now fully completed and
Mr. H.A.W. Wilson has been teaching for us now at this place two months the School numbers 32 Scholars with a good prospect of its increasing as the spring opens.  The children are all learning very well, and Mr. Wilson has been very kind with us and certainly is doing his part for the children, we are willing to pay him for the first months, and so hope you will assist us to do some-thing for him in the Second month all we ask your honorable body to do is for to help us pay our Teacher - we have got the Land & House paid for, and if you can help us pay our Teacher it is all we ask please write soon 
Very Respectfully. Your Obedient Servt
