Rev. Jno Kimball
Dear Sir
I herewith enclose bills which I hope will be satisfactory and be allowed at least to the amount of 100$, they are needy and anxious for a school.
There is a place about 3 miles from Hendon Hill where they have kept a school of about 30 scholars for the least year or so on a damp sort of cellar arrangement named Fairview. If there woul be any possibility of receiving material could build one there they have the ground and some funds in hand
Please let me know if they could get any material at this time. And if you can give me any assurance will call a meeting there and see what can be done they are very anxious.
Yours Respectfully
