Dear Sir:
In reply to yours of the 8th inst. Miss [[underlined]] Alexander [[/underlined]] has made no report for December. Have her send that and then we can fix the pay &c. We will be obliged to discontinue Miss [[underlined]] Lyon's [[/underlined]] school I fear.
If Miss [[underlined]] Johnson [[/underlined]] has not started yet please tell her that all the Bay Steamers have ceased running, and to get to Tracy's Landing School she will have to take the boat to West River instead of Fair Haven.
Very Respectfully,
Bvt. Maj. and Supt. Education - IIIF Manifests
