But I have stated this over and over again to them and I have not influenced them. The officers of the bureau have done all they can to stop this society work in Washington in view of the great need in other parts of the country. I hope you will influence Mr. [[underlined]] Abbott.

The three (3) night schools reported at the bottom of the blank will be reported in full like the day schools, next month. Miss [[underlined]] Howell [[/underlined]] writes, "I am very much encouraged with the progress of the school."

Genl [[underlined]] Howard [[/underlined]] will employ Rev. [[underlined]] J. W.

Will you please send his salary up to that time. I want you to send me a good colored man in the place of [[underlined]] Eddy [[/underlined]] for one of five or six places now waiting. I shall send a colored lady to take the school that was started by [[underlined]] Davis. [[/underlined]] She will go down to St. Marys Co. on Saturday. Will you support her? if so please send commission. Her name is Miss [[underlined]] York [[/underlined]] of New Bedford, Mass. She has passed a good examination and has good papers. If I could say anything to induce you to give more teachers I would do it. The Trustees of this city now have money and will continue to have enough to carry on all the schools to the end of the time. Very respectfully yours [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education.
