Dear Sir:
I am not determined to come to Annapolis to visit the school.  I think it would be an excellent plan to have an examination of the school on Friday, and to invite Mr. [[underlined]] Janney [[/underlined]] and myself to be present, and all the colored people of Annapolis who can come.  
We are having a great time here examining [[strikethrough]] four schools [[/strikethrough]] four schools day after day for more than two weeks.  It does more to keep up the interest of teachers, and scholars and parents than any thing else.  The parents ought to come in at the close of the term and see what has been done.  I think that such good schools as you have got at Annapolis should not close with out a public examination.  If you are ready for this, send me an invitation tomorrow.  I will come down on Friday
Very Respectfully Yours.

Dear Sir:
Mr. [[[underlined]] Roby [[/underlined]] informs me that he has not refused the use of that school-house for meetings.  He says, "Whoever told you that I have refused the school-house for preaching to the colored people, told you a base and willful falsehood, for I have invited it all the time."  Tell Mr. [[underlined]] Sangford [[/underlined]], therefore, to go on and hold his meetings.
Very Respectfully Yours,
