Columbia, Tenn.
Dec 29th 1866
Rev. D. Burt
Dear Brother:
I don't know what we are to do for the wait of more Desks I am at my "wits end"
We have about 100 scholars writing - a large portion of the scholars have to set on benches.
Our church has extended at this front more than $5,000 already & I cannot hope for further assistance
If We have received our proportion from the Bureau compared with other points we must be content & struggle along with our disadvantages
