[illegible] Murfreesboro, Tenn Dear Sir: Arrangements have been made by which the salary of a male white teacher can be paid at Lebanon for the remainder of the school year, on condition that you will let the Bureau have the use of your church in that place free of charge. The teacher shall be selected by Dr. Rust and presuming that you will reply in the affirmative I will invite him today to make a selection and secure transportation and have the teacher on the ground as soon as possible.
