Annapolis, Md.

Major:

I returned this morning intending to come to Annapolis on Monday, to go with you into Calvert Co. but I learn that you were here yesterday and are going to New York next week.  I am sorry that you have not left me word of your change of plan.  I wrote you that I was coming on the 26th inst. but have not been able to get round until now.  I have now written to Capt. [[underlined]] Lawrence [[/underlined]] that I will come to St. Mary's Co. next week.

Will you please write me by return mail how about schools in Calvert and Ann Arundel Counties.  Do the teachers remain another month?  What is your plan for a trip down there?

Very Respectfully Yours,

Supt. of Education.

Colonel:

There has been a mistake about Miss [[underlined]] C. L. York. [[/underlined]] 

[[end page]]
[[start page]]

She has been put down as your teacher, and you have paid her a months salary, but you will recollect that she was given up to the N.Y. Branch, and you took Miss [[underlined]] Bell [[/underlined]] instead.  Please do not send salary for her during April and May, and the money which you have paid I will have refunded.

Yours Very Respectfully

[[underlined]] Brubaker  Capt. J. C. [[/underlined]] 
Harper's Ferry, W. Va.

Captain:

I send you papers about a case which Genl [[underlined]] Howard [[/underlined]] wants you to investigate.  The colored man is a first rate fellow and lives at Fairmount, Va.  [[underlined]] Judge Hall [[/underlined]] had this case in hand and knows about it.  You will see by the General's notes on the envelope that he wants you to see [[underlined]] Judge Hall.  Johnson's [[/underlined]] plea, as I understand is that this was money due him from the colored man to pay his freedom.

I have $6.00 for you:  shall I send it?  Got home this morning.

Very Respectfully Yours,
[[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]]
