Rev. R.D. Harper
Supt. Ed Montgomery Ala.

Dear Bro.
On returning from my vacation I find your circular of Aug. 24th on my desk. It is a valuable document and will do good. Now for the "cooperation" spoken of. Is there a certainty that this school fund will be available so that teachers can expect their pay promptly? As before stated we are ready to occupy Montgomery, Selma, Marion & Talladega. I have a good Supt. for Montgomery. J. H. Sears will be our supt. at Selma & I trust that T. C. Steward will remain at Marion. When will the school buildings at Montgomery and Selma be ready for use? Please send a copy for the lease of the Montgomery S. H. rent as the Trustees are ready to submit.

Most Truly Yours,
E. M. Cravath Secy
