Maj.

We will come to Annapolis, Thursday night (the 24th) so as to go down and have the meeting on Friday the 26th if we can ride down in time.  Maybe we will go down from Anapolis on Friday, have the meeting, stop over night and come back and home on Saturday.  You will know how best to fix that.  Have to go to St. Mary's first part of the week.

Very Respectfully Yours

Sir

Your request of desks for your school house has been received.

We have already aided you to the amount of $350.00 besides a quantity of old lumber.  There are so many calls for aid in places, where there are no houses, that I think we shall not be able to give you more help.  We hope you will be able to finish your own house, and have a good school in operation by the 1st of Oct.
