by some other steamer [or] in the stage by way of Leonardtown. We see his salary paid, same as with [[underlined]] Newman. [[/underlined]] You must take good care of him, and have a large school.

[[underlined]] Corson [[/underlined]] Col. [[underlined]] R. R. [[/underlined]] Philadelphia, Pa. Dear Sir: I send you transportation. Let the young men come to Baltimore, and go to the Baltimore Association Rooms, cor. Courtland and Saritoga Sts.. If any Steamer is running, Mr. [[underlined]] Core [[/underlined]] will tell them. The W.W. Coit, is advertised to leave Baltimore every Friday at 4 o'clock P.M., from foot Conway street. If the weather is good I think she will go next week. The nearest wharf to Ridge and Fairfield, is Dr. Jones' Wharf. [[underlined]] Venning [[/underlined]] will report to [[underlined]] Abraham Tyre, [[/underlined]] trustee. [[underlined]] Owens [[/underlined]] will report to [[underlined]] John Bailey.[[/underlined]] The nearest wharf to Chaptico, or "Cross Roads", (as the school is called) is Coburn's Wharf, or Plowden's Wharf, either will do. [[underlined]] Johnson [[/underlined]] will report to [[underlined]] George Carter [[/underlined]] trustee. I shall write to these trustees to-day, telling them that teachers will come next week. If they are not met by the trustees, they must make their way to their houses as best they can. If any steamer is running it will be the Coit, I think with a very good Captain, and I advise that they try to connect with it. If they cannot go by steamer, let them come on to Washington, and go down by stage: but by steamer is possible. As soon as they reach their places I wish them to write me. There have been good and large schools at these places. At Ridge, is one of our best houses. This is a Catholic region.
