Description
Ruter has not yet received the minutes from New York [unidentified meeting] but will send a copy to Finley once they arrive. He will also delay sending the $50 draft to Finley until the end of the month. Ruter reports on the situation of F.A. Hicks (Francis A Hicks, Wyandot boy, son of John Hicks) who is now in Cincinnati. The independent missionary society has been revived in order to support the boy's education. Francis is boarding with Brother Raper and attending the school located near the Stone Meeting House. Ruter believes that Francis will do well. He anticipates that there will be opposition to placing the Wyandot boys in white schools, but believes it will decline if the boys do well.
