Washington, July 18th 1868. [[underlined]] Chapin Rev. [[/underlined]] Boston, Mass. Dear Sir: I write to ask how many teachers you are going to give us for Maryland colored schools next term. We shall want all the help you can afford. The colored people are doing well for themselves in that State, but in my part, (eight Counties) the schools will not generally go on without the teachers are paid in part by Northern friends. Please do not forget our needs, but tell me something about what we may expect. I may see you sometime in August if you are in Boston, if I can by personal application do any good. Very Respectfully, Yours, [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education.
