General,
I have the honor to forward herewith, contracts, specifications, and bonds, accompanied by vouchers, for use in the appropriation of $8000.00 to be expended upon the property in this city, recently purchased by the Am. Baptist Home Mission Association and known as the Rufus Johnston estate.

I have not filled up the vouchers, as I am unable to give the date upon which the expenditure was ordered.

I am very respectfully
Your Obedt Servt.
Edw. L. Deane
Agent B of RF & AL
