Dear Brother,
Yours of the 1st is before me. Similar appeals accumulating for the last six years have drawn us out to the uttermost. We are doing at present all in our power. You may be sure we shall not do less in Alabama than heretofore, unless our collections shrink. Help us to more money, and we will send you more teacher.
Fraternally
