L. Headquarters Asst. Com'r D.C. Washington, Oct. 29, 1868. [[underlined]] Roberts [[/underlined]] Friend. The people have written to me for a colored teacher at Sandy Springs. Now it is almost impossible to et such teachers who are good for anything, in sufficient numbers, but I can get a first class white lady without difficulty who will make a school that will be an honor to the place. They understand that any teacher sent will have to receive her board, and $10. per month will be paid the Baltimore Association. Now if they will come to these terms and the board of the white lady, and $10. per month, furnished we will send a teacher immediately. Respectfully yours [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. [[line across page]] 583 Bureau R. F. & A. L. Headquarters Asst. Com'r D.C. Washington, Oct. 29, 1868.
