| Message Abstract | Rev. Dr. Hatfield, Dear Bro - I send the above statement to you. It is to be expected that among so many, some would find that the arrangements were not perfectly understood - I advanced ($5.) five dollars each to Mossell & Chambers; all they needed at present. Very truly yours, [[signature]] Lorenzo Westcott. [[/signature]] |
| Message Body | I arrived at this place Saturday & reported to Mr. John W. McGrath, as directed to do, & he was surprised to see me; he said that he sent Mr. Kimball, word that he would not be ready for me before next week if then, for the School was going on here. Mr. Kelly, the gentleman, that is teaching here, said that he has not received any orders to close the school & he thinks that he should have the refusial of it. Mr. Westcott, this state of things place me in an embarrassing perdicament, & I will be glad if you can get me to another place or tell me what to do, if there is a vacant place down this way I would like to get it, for I am dissatisfied here. Please do what you can for me. |
