Rev. Rust.
Cor. Secty. F.A.S. M.E. Church

Dear Sir
Your letter of the 25th inst is at hand. Dr. Harper has resigned and is now in Ohio. Dr. H will probably be offered the Presidency of the State University in this State.

When you left here the impression in my mind was that you could procure plans for the Schoolhouse better than me, as you spoke of building only a part of plan. Should we propose plans they would have to be on a basis of our appropriation power which at prices forwarded for materials will hardly enclose the building we spoke of You would hardly propose a house of that  size for reception of pupils for such  houses were built of brick

Transcription Notes:
Dr. H - I believe was Dr. Harper who had resigned, according to one of the earlier letters here.
