Ill. Inst. for the Education of the Blind.

Gov. Yates.
Dear Sir.
Yours requesting the admission of a Blind Soldier is received. It was laid before our Board of Trustees to day. They decided to admit him, but as the school will close in another week for vacation he declines to remain untill that time.
All the relief our Board can give to those who have fought for their Country, will be cheerfully given.
Yours truly
Joshua Rhoads
Supt.
