Dear Sir:
Yours of December 2nd is before me. We can furnish the girl of whom you speak for tuition, and a good room where she can board herself [added: free of rent] This is all we can do at present. Maybe we can get some help for her additional from the Peabody fund. We shall try with fair prospect of sucess.
Yours in haste,
N. C. Brackett
We will furnish free tuition and room rent & several more. N.C.B.
