West Point, Dec 7th 1869 Rev. R.M. Manly Yours of the 3rd is received. Mrs. Lowell sent the $4.00 to pay the rent for November and Mr. Davis paid Mr. Anderson yesterday, and got a receipt. I will keep the $4.00 you sent and pay for December. My school gets along quite well. I had 15 pupils last night and they improve. I have herd quite a number are getting ready to attend school this winter. The people are poor and their children are not suitable clothed to come to school. Yours truly O. Kelly
