[[/underlined]] Philadelphia, Pa. Dear Sir: I send you a statement of payment made in Nov. Of the $214.12 I received only $14.12, the rest you paid to several teachers, giving more than was due for the month to all but Mrs. [[underlined]] Davenger. [[/underlined]] As I could not pay what was all owing to your over payment of a part, I charged in my account for December what was due and unpaid for November, and credited full payments to [[underlined]] Morris, Sullivan [[/underlined]] and [[underlined]] Anderson, [[/underlined]] the two first for December, the last for November and December. Account for November Received of Pa. Branch F. U. Commission | $214.12 Paid Mrs. [[underlined]] Jane Knight [[/underlined]] from Oct. 9th to Dec. 1st | $35.38 " [[ditto for Paid]] Miss [[underlined]] Dellie Gordon [[/underlined]] " " " [[dittos for from Oct. 9th to Dec. 1st]] | 35.38 " [[ditto for Paid]] [[underlined]] W.

J. C. Anderson [[/underlined]] " " [[dittos for salary from]] Nov. 1st to Jany. 1st | 40.00 [[subtotal]] | $218.87 Amount received | 214.14 Balance my due | 4.75 With this explanation I think you find the account perfectly plain. If I signed a receipt in full on the 1st of December I ought not to have done it, and you ought not to have asked it without sending more money, as you know I only asked for what was actually due, and you paid out a part of what I asked where it was not due. Your mistake is in forgetting that I was not able to make payments to all in November. I want to add to my miss, Miss [[underlined]] Susan Morris [[/underlined]] from Jany. 16th to Feb. 14 | $9.90 [[underlined]] John Kimball [[/underlined]] freight on boxes | 2.16 Add | 334.91 Total | $346.91 [[end page]] [[start page]] Very Respectfully, Yours [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education.

Md. | 27 " [[ditto for scholars]] The Bureau owns the building in which Miss [[underlined]] Hall [[/underlined]] teaches, and therefore rent cannot be charged. [[underlined]] Douglas [[/underlined]] has a very large school, and wants more salary. If you can pay him $3.00 or $5.00 more than the rest I shall be glad. You have now in Maryland twenty-seven (27) teachers, and one (1) in the Dist. of Columbia. Total, twenty-eight (28). I shall want a good many more. Very Respectfully, Yours [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. [[line across page]] 972 Bureau R. F. & A. L. Head Quarters Asst. Com'r D.C. Washington, Feb. 3d 1869. [[underlined]] Core John [[/underlined]] Baltimore, Md. Dear Sir: As Miss [[underlined]] Lyon [[/underlined]] does not come I changed Miss [[underlined]] Thomas [[/underlined]] to Forest Hill. I also think a smart man should be sent to Salisbury. It is quite a large place, the most important field on the Eastern Shore. I send transportation to you that you may give directions about calling on you, and time to hit boat stage &c.
