The next session is at least a month longer than this and also the vacation which is a month, the board is going to be raised to 2 dollars more per month with all I have some clothes to get therefore we will need about $175 for each if at the end of nex session any should be over will keep from<pb id="unc06-94-p02" n="2"/>spending it uselessly.
