Dred Peacock – W. T. Farrow Correspondence 23-25 May 1900

LETTER 1 TRANSCRIPT: GREENSBORO FEMALE COLLEGE. _________ PRESIDENT’S OFFICE Greensboro, N. C., 5/23rd, 1900 Mr. W. T. Farrow, Washington, N. C. My dear Sir & Friend: - Mr. Odell handed me your kind favor of the 21st inst., to answer, as he was a great loss to know what the trouble was. I am equally at a loss to know, as our Book-keeper charged for the time Miss Mamie was here, and there must be some error in the bill. You will notice on the bill is printed that any error will be cheerfully corrected. For these circumstances I thought it best to enclose check and have you state just what the trouble is and let us know just what you consider right treatment, as we have no desire to do anything else in the world. We could not think of accepting your check when you paid it under protest, as is evident from your letter. We decidedly prefer to have your good will to any amount of money, and my personal friendship for you and your family would cause me to do anything in my power to have you perfectly satisfied. I am sorry to learn that you have been sick, and I trust you have fully recovered, and also hope that Miss Mamie is improving, and that she will soon be entirely well. With my best wishes for yourself and family, I am, Cordially yours, D. Peacock LETTER 2 TRANSCRIPT: Washington [NC] May 25th 1900 Dear Dr. Peacock, Your kind letter received, and contents noted. In answer to your letter, will ask this question. If Spring Term of 1899 for Board, Tuition, Light-, Heat- & Washington = 90.00 Latin Elocution & Music 45.00 135.00 Less 15% 20.25 114.75 Supplies Extra 21.80 Cost $136.55 What ought it to cost a sick girl for 43 days studying Penmanship, Spelling, Composition, Bible & Piano, from Recitation 33 times [?] I don’t know what your rules are regulating such matters. It just doesn’t look right to me, but I am willing to abide by your decision. I have no feeling in this matter. It’s business pure and simple. I am not only willing, but anxious to pay every cent my daughter contracted while at G. F. College [Greensboro Female College]. Whatever your decision may be, whether more or less than the check returned let me hear from you and I will respond promptly. I feel sure you are our friend, and I know we are your friends. Mamie & myself are both improving. With kindest regards Yours respectfully W. T. Farrow ...
