925 Bureau R. F. & A. L. Head Quarters Asst. Com'r D.C. Washington, Jany 25th 1869. [[underlined]] Douglas S. A. [[/underlined]] Nanjemoy, Charles Co. Md. Dear Sir: $28.58 was the amount due you. I paid [[underlined]] Johnson [[/underlined]] and sent the remainder to your wife by check on Jany. 12th. I directed my letter as you told me: not to Mrs. [[underlined]] S. A. Douglas, [[/underlined]] but to her name. Am sorry I have not some money to send you. Very Respectfully, Yours [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education.

[[/underlined]] Washington, D.C. Madame: You can have the front lower room, cor. 17th & I Sts. for a night school, if you desire. Mr. [[underlined]] Cook [[/underlined]] has no objections. Very Respectfully, Yours [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. [[line across page]] 927 Bureau R. F. & A. L. Head Quarters Asst. Com'r D.C. Washington, Jany 25th 1869. [[underlined]] Cook Geo. F. T. [[/underlined]] Washington, D.C. Dear Sir: I do not know what property is in the store-house belonging to you, but judge there are Slates, Maps, Globes &c., moved from Kendall Green. Very Respectfully, Yours [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. [[end page]] [[start page]] 928 Bureau R. F. & A. L. Head Quarters Asst. Com'r D.C. Washington, Jany 25th 1869. [[underlined]] Corson [[/underlined]] Col. [[underlined]] R. R. [[/underlined]] Philadelphia, Pa. Dear Sir: I cannot get transportation for [[underlined]] Venning [[/underlined]] and others to the same places again. If you can send [[underlined]] Johnson [[/underlined]] and pay fare, I can send him to his place by stage from Washington on Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday at 8 o'clock A.M. I can probably get transportation for the other two, to new places if they will be sure to follow instructions when started. One I will send where [[underlined]] Lock [[/underlined]] was last year; the other to Plum Point in same County (Calvert). I do not like the way they managed. If this will not do then I can furnish them employment under the Baltimore Association in other places in Maryland. Very Respectfully, Yours [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. [[line across page]] 929 Bureau R. F. & A. L. Head Quarters Asst. Com'r D.C. Washington, Jany 25th 1869. [[underlined]] Shearman M. E. [[/underlined]] Philadelphia, Pa. Dear Sir: I find difficulty about the postage on papers sent. I cannot now use Genl. [[underlined]] Howard's [[/underlined]] Frank for their distribution. The colored people would gladly pay the postage, I think, in most cases, although they are very poor, but it would be but a small sum in each case. Cannot your Society help us by paying postage on these packages? You can in this way continue a most excellent work. Such beautiful papers have never been distributed in Maryland, and they will do great good among all classes. Very Respectfully, Yours [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education.
