Description
-
"There is an impression among our people that (you) will return to Watauga and build up a School at Boone with B. It is taken for granted by the people that this is a fact and I am often asked about it, but I cant tell them anything for I know nothing. Dr. Adams was here a few days ago and requested me to write you and B both as he wants his Bd. to Elect Either of you Co Supn. Says the people desire this and that he is for Either of you and for you and B to deside the matter whether either will accept the Supn. place? Of course I have no choice but would be pleased for either of you to have the place. Dr. says it will pay from $2 to $4 per day (I have not read the school law myself) Write me how you feel on this school matter and also about the Superintendant’s place.
A school here conducted by you & B would be well sustained in my opinion the finest opening I think any where now Consider this and let us know your desires."
