If we should do anything for that place it would not be more than $100.00.

I understand the Wawaseth leaves here now on every Tuesday morning at 6 o'clock.  If she makes a Wharf near your place, cannot we come on her, have the meeting on Wednesday the 23rd & take the Columbia Wednesday night for Baltimore.  If we can do this, we will come down at that time & would like you to assist in getting up a big meeting in which our teachers will aid you.  We can get Judge [[underlined]] Bond [[/underlined]] and Gen'l [[underlined]] Howard. [[/underlined]]  Please let me know immediately how you like this plan.  The only trouble is about the "W" making a landing near you, which you can learn down the better than I can here & about the time on Wednesday when the "C" reaches Leonardtown.
