Rev R. M. Manly
Asst. Supt Schools

Dear Sir

Enclosed please find School Report for the month of April.  I have written two letters requesting you to allow me some thing for teaching.  The people pay my board but are unable to pay any more.  Please let me know whether or not I shall continue the school unless I get some [[strikethrough]] attendance [[/strikethrough]] assistance from you.  I am willing to go on with school if any assistance can be given.  The people are too poor to pay any thing as I have stated.  I have had no pay for Feb. March and April.
