Much obliged for your sympathy in the matter of a more permanent building for school purposes at Florence. I know you are all in a straight place. If anything can be done let me know. With a school or schools of 300 or 350 pupils & 2 educated teachers & 2 good assistants, they certainly ought to be helped. But as I write on the point of starting to [[left margin]] our state election, a sad feeling comes over me that possible with our local issues, old Penn'a. may before midnight be made to appear to have sustained the infamous course of the great enemy of the South "Andy Johnson" - which may our Heavenly Father forbid. That would be a calamity indeed. But God Reigns
