Very Respectfully, Yours [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. [[line across page]] 944 Bureau R. F. & A. L. Head Quarters Asst. Com'r D.C. Washington, Jany 27th 1869. [[underlined]] Corson [[/underlined]] Col. [[underlined]] R. R. [[/underlined]] Philadelphia, Pa. Dear Sir: I have no other places now ready where I can send those men. The Baltimore Association have 12 places, Fallston and Forest Hill, Harford Co., 4 places in Kent Co., 1 in Talbot Co. &c. I do not know what places [[underlined]] Core [[/underlined]] would send them, but think some of those I have mentioned. I do not think they followed directions. I wrote you that they were to try to connect at Baltimore with Steamer: that [[underlined]] Core [[/underlined]] would help them. They wrote to Core, not getting an answere, came right through Baltimore instead of stopping to see how things were. When here, I thought they had best return to Baltimore, as I was quite sure from the "time table", that the "Voist" was running, and it was so much better way to go. But I told them if it and no other boat was running, to return here and take a stage, which did start the next morning. Instead of that they continued on home. Their two mistakes were in coming right through Baltimore, and in not coming back here. I telegraphed to Baltimore but did not get reply in season, they day they were here.
