Transcription: Dr. W. T. Griggs, Poplar Branch, N.C. Dec 27th 1906 - Mr. John E. Thayer, Lancaster Mass. Dear Sir: I herewith inclose receipt which you would have received long ago, but for a mistake of mine in addressing you. Our school gave an entertainment and succeeded in raising #50.00 which with your donation will enable us to get a good instrument for our school. Your club has been very kind to us; and we certainly do appreciate your kindness. We expect to teach our children to respect the rights of their friends. The Century Dictionary and other books which you have given our school have been a great aid to the school. Again thanking you esp. for your personal donations to our school. I beg to remain yours very respectfully W. T. Griggs
