Geo. S. Smith
Sub Asst' Com' Macon, Miss.

Sir: 
A communication forwarded from your office relating to an application for assistance from Chester Howard has been received at this office.

In reply I would respectfully inform Mr. Howard that at present we can do nothing in the matter of special appropriations for building purposes for the reason that we have no funds.

The probabilities are that often the first of January we will be able to consider the application

Very Respectfully
Your Obd't Servant
H.R. Pease
Supt of Education
