Middleburg, Virginia
January 2, 1932
Mr. O. L. Emerick
Purcellville, Virginia
Dear Sir:
We, the patrons of St. Louis School, are very anxious to have the road entering the school grounds improved. It is in a terrible condition, making travel upon it almost impossible. If possible, we should like very much to get help from the School Board. We are willing to contribute labor towards the work.
Sincerely yours,
James S. Grant
