| Message Abstract | Encloses letter from [[underlined]] James Clash [[/underlined]] of Blackwater, stating that they have a teacher: that their school-room is 16 x 18 ft. and requesting the use of the school furniture in the church. Mr. Core suggests that if the Bureau were to furnish this school with desks they might be made over to the trustees. States that they are in want of more teachers. |
| Message Body | I rec'd the enclosed letter from Jas. Clash, and forward it to you as being the answer to your letter of queries, dated Dec. 4. I believe the school room is either a house or in a house belonging to Jas Clash. If you were to furnish the desks you might arrange matters in such way as to have them transferred to any Board of School Trustees that might be elected by the people to take charge of the school, or when a school house would be built, to be so transf'd. How about teachers. I am anxiously waiting to hear from you of more. I would pay all the salary if necessary. |
