have
some
difficulty
in
processing

for the
teachers
unless
they are
sent
out
by
some
Society
.
Can
you
apply

and
send
out
the
following
named
teachers
–
as
specified
:
(Their
salaries
will be
paid
by the
Bureau)
Please
ask
the
Department

send
Transportation
Orders
direct
to
parties
at
respective
addresses
above
and as
soon
as
possible

Very
Respectfully
