If it is the intention of the department to settle with the teachers who have done much to promote the interests of the Country & who are willing to do still more in a good cause, let them do so without any longer delay - I am wanting money and that which is due me is all that I ask for. If I thought a fuller statement of facts was necessary to insure the payments due me, I would make it more formal but hoping that what I have said will be acted upon & favorably Considered, I will refrain from taxing your patience longer.

Respectfully
Your obt Servt
