You must keep up a full school. If the people will not send their children the school must stop. Sometimes the people get up a fair and pay board, and sometimes a number of men pay so much a month. If it will not be too hard for you I would like you to have a night school for the men and women. I shall charge all books, slates &c, to you. You must sell them to the people, and children. I shall come and see you as soon as I can. Very Respectfully Yours, [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. [[line across page]] 607 Bureau R. F. and A. L. Head Quarters Asst.
