[[underlined]] Payne Sebastian. [[/underlined]] Pomonkey, Charles Co. Md. Dear Sir: I wrote you some days ago asking how, and on what day, you want the books sent. I have them all packed, and will send them just as you want them: but if I send them on a day when you do not expect them, I am afraid they will be lost. You must have some one ready to receive them, if they come by boat or stage. Very Respectfully, Yours [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. [[line across page]] 912 Bureau R.

Dear Sir: I have a letter from Miss [[underlined]] Skilton [[/underlined]] in which she says she has no communication from Mr. [[underlined]] Kelsnor, [[/underlined]] and she wishes me to inform you. Mr. [[underlined]] Wadsworth [[/underlined]] thinks there has been delay enough, and so do I. I hope you will see that matters are hurried up, and money got in some way, as soon as may be. Very Respectfully, Yours [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. [[line across page]] 915 Bureau R. F. & A. L. Head Quarters Asst. Com'r D.C. Washington, Jany 14th 1869. [[underlined]] Cook Geo. F. T. [[/underlined]] Washington, D.C. Dear Sir: How soon will the new school-house, in the 1st ward be ready for use? Will you want the buildings cor. 17th and I, and 24th & F. Sts. after that, or any of their furniture? Do you object to the use of the lower room, cor. 17th and I Sts. for a night school, or one of the other rooms, there or elsewhere? Will you not be able to start some night schools soon? The expense is slight, and need very great. I have constant inquiries for such schools.
