Dear Sir:  I send you a letter from the Sec. of the Baltimore Association to show you their feelings and wishes.

This is a part of Maryland where the people cannot do what the Baltimore Association requires, viz: pay board and $10. per month of salary.  That Association does not undertake to send teachers in this part.  I write this as I know of your letters with Mr. [[underlined]] Core [[/underlined]] and this letter was sent me at his request. 

Respectfully yours

Sir:  I have a first rate white lady teacher;  salary paid, except board, who wants to go to Frederick.  Do you not want to send here there?  I hope you will so arrange.  She has taught four years in colored school far South.  She is from New England.  If you do not want to send her to Frederick, have you not some other good palce?  Please reply immediately.  If you send her to Frederick, I understand you can get the Bureau's $10. and the people's $10.00, can you not?  Hope you will not fail to send her to Frederick.

Very respectfully yours

Sir:  Mr. [[underlined]] Robert F. Smith [[/underlined]] formerly, as he says, a student at your school, has applied to me for a position as teacher of a colored school in Maryland.  Also [[underlined]] Walter Wayman. [[/underlined]]  I write to ask what character they sustained while in your place, and about their scholarship.  And also if you have students, or know of persons, colored men, who are fitted to teach and who want places.  I have great need of good men who are willing to go in the Country and educate their race. 

I have the honor to be
Your obedient servant
