Nsw CASTLE, Jan. /, 1920 the Levy
Court Nep Castle County: We the jail
made by you for us is exhausted with the
bills which we now send you. You will
find that the bill for drugs to the present
has been about one sixth of the appropria-
ton made us.
We find that the roof of the prison is in
very bad condition and we are waiting to
hear from you before we go further.
II is not necessary for us to call your at
tention to the fact of so great number of
men who arc at work on the stone pile
who are constantly calling for shoes or

many debts without first calling your at
