Bureau R. F. & A. L.
Head Quarters Asst. Com'r D.C.
Washington, Dec. 4th 1868.

[[underlined]] Core  John [[/underlined]] 
Baltimore, Md.

Dear Sir:

Have you a drawing of a good desk and seat?  I think those you have made for country schools are very good.  If so please send me.  I have a plan but don't like it.  Please send so that a carpenter could make from it.  Are there any desks to sell cheap at your place.  They want some at Darlington, Harford Co.

Very Respectfully, Yours

Buckeystown, Frederick Co. Md.

Dear Sir:

I return you this deed which was sent me by Mr. [[underlined]] Core. [[/underlined]]  The deed is all right.  I have taken a copy of it.  We are closing the Bureau papers.  Winter is upon us and we are not starting any school-houses now.  If the Bureau continues, and you want to go on with the building in the spring, I hope we shall be able to help you.  I will let you know when we can help you.  I have no doubt but there should be a school house in the place for which you have the deed.

Very Respectfully, Yours
