Dear Sir: I will go to Hendon Hill on Saturday next if I can return the same day here, and if it not not an outdoor meeting (too cold and uncertain weather for that - I have just tried one in rain), and if it is not too long a ride from the rail road. Please consider me engaged if I can count upon the matters mentioned above as all right. Will you write or telegraph me tomorrow if "all right". Do I go on Philadelphia R.R. or at what station get off. If I come shall stop at Barnum's Hotel over night.

Respectfully yours

Supt. of Education.
