Supt of Education.

Dear Dr.

I have sent Miss Hindman her transportation and I presume she is on her way to Huntsville Miss Larkin will also aid her in the normal school, they are both of them splendid teachers. Col. Rugg wrote me that he was ready now for action in regard to the school building. I go to Huntsville tonight to purchase the ground for the building. We will purchase the ground and will arrange the matter immediately. I go to Atlanta and Murphree's Valley to arrange for our schools in Ga. and Ala. I shall be at M. Oct. 22- I will send quite an increase of teachers on the terms mentioned in your letter - address me at Atlanta, Ga. 19th or Murphree's Valley 23d. I hope to meet you. I visit our conferences, Yours R.S. Rust
