[[underlined]] Bokkelen [[/underlined]] Mr [[underlined]] L. von [[/underlined]] [[?Catonville]] Md. Sir We have already aided in building the Freedmens School house at your place, to the amount of $625.00. I am glad to know that with this aid, you have a excellent house. Our funds are limited and with the call for so many places for a little aid to built a school house where there are no school privileges, I do not see how we can render more aid in your place at present. I trust the people of the place will take hold & complete the house. Very Respectfully [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. [[line across page]] 481 Bureau R.F. & A.L.

You certainly got my letter. I hope you will complete the trade. Very Respectfully
