You can get wood choppers here if you can offer them usual facilities, good pay &c.1 I told Gen. [[underline]] Howard [[/underline]] that you wanted men. He thinks you can get up a gang of men by coming here after them and making your own trade with Them.

Dear Sir:
I have to request you to withdraw your Commission from [[?]] [[underline]] E.W.Davis [[/underline]], Teacher at [[?]] Mills, St Mary Co Md. from the lot of this month, and to send another good colored man in his place. I have no such man here. If you will appoint and send me the name and request I will get Bureau transportation for him. It is very 
desirable that the school should go on without delay The colored people are willing to do what I have promised in all these cases. Please send me salary for [[?]] Davis for Month of December. He is in trouble, has been arrested. I will see that he receives justice, but he has lost his influence and had best be removed.
Very respectfully yours
John Kimball
Supt. of Schools.
