Mr. J H Lowry
Supt. Education
Dadeville, Ala

Dear Sir,
Yours of the 23rd is at hand with estimate. But I see nothing for the people to do themselves. In your application you stated that you could have the work done if we would assist in the purchase of materials.

We are willing to assist but not to do all. Help those who help themselves has been the motto.

However your people will secure a lot and put up a big house. We will assist in the purchase of doors lumber &c.

Your application may be made to D.B. Smith, Opelika, or John C. Hendrix, Montgomery, Ala

Very Respectfully
Henry M. Bush
for Supt. Education
