Laurel, Prince George Co. Md.

I am very glad to know of the school of which you write, and shall be pleased to visit it when I go that way.  I cannot promise any Books, Charts, or Maps.  I have done this to some extent but my supply is now expended.  All the schools in the country now, buy their own books, and I am glad to say, they do so very promptly.

She can buy books very well at Annapolis.  Maj. [[underlined]] W.L. Vanderlip, [[/underlined]] our agent there, will help if desired.  He says books are bought for the schools at Annapolis, right there as well as any where.
