Rev. Jno. Kimbel.
Dear Sir
I have this moment received a communication from the Hendon Hill school, which says they have made arrangements to commence the school provided they can get a teacher on the terms you proposed. Please let me hear from you at once when you can send him; and what is the prospect of the school furniture. They also propose having a meeting there the 14th of August, and wish you to be present. I feel anxious to give that school a start and hope you will make an effort in the same direction. They would also give employment to a teacher at Mt. Zion or McComas institute during the summer on the same terms.
Please let me hear from you as soon as possible.
Yours Respectfully
