- Description
- Thomas Run trustee Elijah Stewart writes to Baltimore Association actuary R. M. Janney that his carpenters are ready to complete the new schoolhouse but lack materials. He requests 1000 feet of weatherboarding and 800 feet of sheathing, along with enough lumber to make desks and benches. He asks that the materials be sent to Aberdeen and that he be notified by letter on the day that they are dispatched. An endorsement on the reverse by Baltimore Association actuary R. M. Janney forwarded the letter to Gen. Gregory, Assistant Commissioner for MD and DE, requesting that Stewart's list of materials be supplied. A further endorsement by Gen. Gregory forwarded the letter to Capt. Samuel J. Wright directing him to supply the needed materials.
