Rev. E. M. Cravath.
Dear Sir

I arrived in Montgomery on Saturday & called on Dr. Cloud State Supt of Education on Monday.

He thinks the State will meet its obligations to me as stated in my circular - to pay all teachers from the Bureau and Associations of the month the same compensation paid other teachers in the state.

To make the matter sure, however, he proposes to introduce a Bill to the Legislature, now in session, setting apart $325.000, from the taxes collected for School purposes. Said taxes will be collected between the first of Dec & the first of April. He hopes to be able to pay the first quarter in December. This Bill will be introduced today. This is all the information I can give you at present.

I think everything will be satisfactory.  I will write you soon & give you any additional information in my possession. We are very anxious to have the schools opened immediately. Yours truly
R. D. Harper
Supt of Education.

Transcription Notes:
Not sure about a few things in first sentence. Is State and Superintendent supposed to be deletions? ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-10-17 19:18:15
