This lease only amounts to two thousand and six hundred dollars ($2600.00) pr year, & is all expended by the trustees of the township for the support of a school, to which colored children are not admitted. This amount should have been paid in August, there is however about eight hundred dollars ($800.00) of this amount still in the Treasr. This information I have received within the past few days. I therefore respt. forward you this statement, to take whatever action you may think proper in the matter. Very Respt Your Obdt Servt James Kelly Capt 34th Inft & SAC
