Friend Ward,

  The trustees adjourned 

</u in the night >, and </u he > went right home & I did not see him next day as suggested. And I supposed you had perhaps the contract all sealed Signed before now. Mr Gurdner another Trustee was informed ^by Cobb^ that Cobb was going to do it. Hutos was glad.

  I wanted to tell you of the height

of the room that you might "rare" it up at the right angle. The room measures just 15. ft 9 in. = 15 3/4 ft. Now sir push things.

  I think the above trussered will be

a bully thing; but we probably better wait till the next No I am now happy. If I can do you any good, "speak".

             Yours gladly

D. C. Taft.
