This lot is not more than one quarter of a mile from the Post office. We have railroad communication via Salisbury and the Delaware R.R. There has been but a week of School owing to the Church having caught fire and to the [[strikethrough]] opposition [[/strikethrough]] objection being made to School being held in it. The number in attendance has been very small indeed though a School is greatly needed: Can we attain a two story house for society use as well as school We would be glad to have a reply by return mail that we may know what action to take. |
