Prof. C. E. Bessey:

Dear Sir — Yr
letter demanded a prompter
reply than this. We are very
glad to get a favorable response
to our request for aid in [the?]
projected school [the?] [this?] vacation.
The one thing that now
causes this little delay in making
the arrangements is the
question of funds for its support
