I send you transportation for Miss [[underlined]] Ketchum. [[/underlined]] Please send her so that she will arrive in Washington in the morning or early in the day, if you can and have her come to my office.  I shall expect her on Saturday unless you write to the contrary.  I had written you about a delay at Oxen Run, but now I think we will carry the matter through.  We certainly shall if Miss K. is the right sort of a woman for a teacher.

Very respectfully yours

I am waiting for those two reports from Calvert County and the one from Davidsonville.  I hope they will not fail.  If those men in C.C. want salary they must report regularly to me on the 1st of each month.  Please inform all, that I want reports of night schools on  separate blanks,and well made out.  I expect to send two more men to C.C. in a day or two, but I do not see how I am to get them over.

Very respectfully yours

I send you transportation for the two men, by way of this city.  I shall be glad to see them soon.  More places are opening and I must have quite a number of teachers from somebody, and I want just the best colored persons we can find.  If we need good teachers for the city we certainly need better for the country, because we can inspect city schools and know if things go wrong.

Very respectfully yours,
