Madame: Your report for last month was received. I send you this day a register and 14 blanks, and hope to get a regular report of your school on the 1st of each month, and so myself report it with others. Very Respectfully, Yours [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. P.S. Please inform Mr. [[underlined]] Baker, [[/underlined]] from whom I have a letter, that I can do nothing now about a school house, but if the Bureau is continued we may be able in a short time to help.

Dear Sir: Your letter to Genl. [[underlined]] Howard [[/underlined]] has been given me to answer. I expect, with [[underlined]] J. M. Langston [[/underlined]] Esq. Genl Inspector of Freedmen's Schools, to visit your place one week from to-day, and shall be glad to have a large meeting of the colored people and their friends in the evening, Dec. 7th. Genl. C. H. [[underlined]] Howard [[/underlined]] may come with us, but it is not certain that he will be able. If I hear nothing to the contrary I shall expect that this notice is acceptable to you, and that you will meet us in good numbers at the time stated. Very Respectfully, Yours [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. [[line across page]] 719 Bureau R. F. & A. L. Head Quarters Asst. Com'r D.C. Washington, Nov. 30th 1868. [[underlined]] Conover S. D. [[/underlined]] Westover, Md. Dear Sir: Mr. [[underlined]] John H. Butler [[/underlined]] is an agent of this Bureau and to the best of my knowledge is a faithful worker. His statements were [[end page]] [[start page]] true. We have been ready to aid in building school-houses in Maryland, but just now we are doing nothing in that way. The season is so late and change in the Bureau so near, that we must not agree to aid in the erection of more school-houses at present. If the way is again opened I will let you know. Very Respectfully, Yours [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. [[line across page]] 720 Bureau R. F. & A. L. Head Quarters Asst. Com'r D.C. Washington, Nov. 30th 1868. [[underlined]] Sewall [[/underlined]] Bvt. Brig. Genl. [[underlined]] F. D. [[/underlined]] A.A.A. Genl. General: I have the honor to request transportation for Miss [[underlined]] Theresa Lyons, [[/underlined]] teacher of freedmen under the auspices of the N.Y. Branch F. U. Commission, from Providence, R.I., to Princess Ann, Somerset Co. Maryland. See enclosed letter. Very Respectfully, Your Obedient Servant, Asst. Commissioner. [[line across page]] 721 Bureau R. F. & A. L. Head Quarters Asst. Com'r D.C. Washington, Dec. 1st 1868. [[underlined]] Corson [[/underlined]] Col. [[underlined]] R. R. [[/underlined]] Philadelphia, Pa. Dear Sir: I send your account. I have made it at $20.00 per month per teacher. If you have made any other price with any teacher you must change it. I have stated the time from which they should be paid: to the best of my knowledge I believe I am correct. Miss [[underlined]] Howell [[/underlined]] has not reported and I do not know her time. Please fill it out, also Miss [[underlined]] Anderson's [[/underlined]] at Port Deposit, if you wish me to pay her. I have put in the book account as you requested. After writing the other day, I found that Miss [[underlined]] Haviland [[/underlined]] commenced school on the 16th of Nov. and therefore I have put her in the list from that time. Shall I send you reports of your schools each month? Very Respectfully, Yours [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education.
