Lieut Paul R. Hambrick
S.A.C. 3d Sub Dist Va.

Lieut-
I have the honor to apply for authority to expend $155.00 (One hundred & fifty five Dollars.) to complete the repairs on the "cat tail Church" near Ayletts Va. & thus render the whole building available for school purposes.  But 45 ft long by 32 1/2 wide of the building has been repaired - & no floor has been put in that part.  The building is 80 ft by 32 1/2 ft.  Scholars have flocked to this point untill there are now over 125 scholars & the number is constantly increasing.  There is reason to believe that there will be over 200 scholars at this point.  This estimate is simply for material to complete the whole building & make it fit for winter use.  It is realy the same as four the Country
over.
