To: Mrs Harriet Yancey,

July. 14/17

Mrs Harriet A. Yancey_
Esmont, Va
Mrs Yancey:-

In reply to your letter received today, would say: There is absolutely no objection to having the photograph of your late husband placed in the school building. On the other hand I considerate it very appropriate to have the photograph, placed on the wall, of one who has been so faithful in the school work and who labored for the advancement of the Esmont School. Any one who has taken an active part in the ?? building & advancement of Education should be so honored and remembered be he teacher or patron.

Respectfully
?Jn.? Blair.
