Dear Sir: I have a letter from Miss [[underlined]] Oldham, [[/underlined]] who says she is in Baltimore but you have no place for her. I suppose you find she cannot go to Davidsonville. What sort of a person is she? Maj. [[underlined]] VanDerlip [[/underlined]] speaks well of her. If you think her fit suppose you arrange for her to go to Furnace [[strikethrough]] Creek [[/strikethrough]] Branch. I think our team could take her out, could it not? or she could get out in some way. If she can get a place to board I will see her salary paid if you don't want her and can recommend her. I understand F.B. is only about eight miles from Baltimore. I was told to write to [[underlined]] Wm. Tilghman, [[/underlined]] care of [[underlined]] [[?Deviant]] Stewart, Brooklyn, A.A. Co. in regard to this school. I shall write Miss [[underlined]] O. [[/underlined]] to call you you. Very Respectfully, Yours, [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education.

Miss: I have written to Mr. [[underlined]] Core [[/underlined]] about a place: please call at his office and he will tell you. I know of nothing besides. Very Respectfully, Yours, [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. [[line across page]] 684 Bureau R. F. & A. L. Head Quarters Asst. Com'r D.C. Washington, Nov. 23d 1868. [[underlined]] White [[/underlined]] Rev. [[underlined]] W. R. [[/underlined]] Wheeling, W. Va. Dear Sir: Do you want colored or white teachers? Can get excellent white, if good boarding places can be obtained, and reasonable salary. Also can get colored women who will do. Genl. [[underlined]] C. H. [[/underlined]] says he will help at Moundsville only on condition that without our help the [[strikethrough]] school [[/strikethrough]] work will not [[strikethrough]] [[?yopen]] [[/strikethrough]] be done. He would like to know more about the circumstances before giving $200.00. I will see that a statement of our aid to colored people is sent you. Genl. C. H.'s wife has a baby boy. My wife has one too. All pretty well and wish to be remembered to you. [[end page]] [[start page]] Very Respectfully, Yours, [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education.

[[underlined]] C. H. Howard [[/underlined]] as one who would like to teach a colored school. If you would like a place in Charles or St. Mary's Co. Md., at a salary of $20.00 per month and board and transportation to the school, write me and send your references.

[[underlined]] Jackson [[/underlined]] Miss [[underlined]] M. E. [[/underlined]] Philadelphia, Pa. Miss: I am sorry Mrs [[underlined]] Sullivan [[/underlined]] is not comfortable. I have waited in order to send you a letter from Miss [[underlined]] Bell, [[/underlined]] who taught the school last year, but I have no word from her yet.
