Contents: -enclosed $10.50 cheque; total amount per page authorized by Academy Board of Finance in payment for criticisms etc. for Serial (Words of the New Church); regret that amount is not nearer to value of article -P.S.: tell the young ladies that the visit to Philadelphia was almost too much for two of the Pittsburgh Academy girls; paradoxically, they are home but homesick -note in pencil on back: “H C Carry, 1102 Walnut, 1 6x (?) agree (?)”
