Churchville June 1st 1869
Rev. Mr. Kimball.
Sir
On Saturday June 11th 1869, God willing I intend to have a Public Demonstration of the scholars in the Grove near the school-house.
They will be exercised in their studies, music, and declamations.
The friends for miles around are to be present, and all Loyal Societies in regalia.
I believe there has never been such a demonstration in this vicinity, (I might say in the State,) and the Trustees and myself desire it to be an occasion that will be a credit to the neighborhood.
And we are very desirous that you and some other gentlemen will please be present.
Although this is my third year, my school has never been visited by any gentlemen of position.
I feel that the school and myself are entitled to a visit, and there can be no better occasion than the 19th of June.
You will then have an opportunity to judge what has been the progress of the school.
I have written to Judge Bond and Mr. Coe in relation to the matter, and trust that you gentlemen may find it in your hearts to favor us with your presence and that of your friends.
If it is agreeable you will please inform me that we may make arrangements for your agreeable reception.
Very respectfully yours
