  19 Dec., 1884 Hon. Board of Regents
Nebraska University

Gentlemen:

I respectfully request that the Hon. Board of Regents will make the necessary appropriation to keep the following accounts:

  • W. N. Prescott, instruments for band, $54.45
  • Prof. Easterday, salary as band instructor; 50.00
  • " " : bill for music furnished. 5.50
  • $110.25

Under the instruction of Prof. Easterday the band has made excellent progress. His salary is the same that the Hon. Board has allowed him before. In my opinion it is a reasonable compensation for his services.

The instruments purchased were necessary for the maintenance of the band, and were bought at the best price possible.

Very respectfully, R. H. Townley
Lieut. U. S. A.
