little enough for the people to do. I want you to show this letter to [[underlined]] Datcher [[/underlined]] and arrange matters pleasantly with him. I will see about your salary. Very Respectfully, Yours [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. [[line across page]] 978 Bureau R. F. & A. L. Head Quarters Asst. Com'r D.C. Washington, Feb. 4th 1869. [[underlined]] Collins [[/underlined]] Miss [[underlined]] Ellen [[/underlined]] New York City. Miss: I wrote some time ago asking that you would allow me to pay your teachers in Maryland, as they are buy8ing books of me for which I have no security. If you pay me, I shall receive money for books ordered, and send the rest. [[underlined]] Payne [[/underlined]] has written me to-day asking about his salary. Please write me about this. If I do not get money through you, I shall fill no more orders for books unless the money is sent at the same time. Very Respectfully, Yours [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. [[line across page]] 979 Bureau R. F. & A. L. Head Quarters Asst. Com'r D.C. Washington, Feb. 5th 1869. [[underlined]] Gross James [[/underlined]] and other Trustees. Huntingtown, Calvert Co. Md. Gents., You have right to protection when molested anywhere, and if anyone comes in your school-house and conducts himself improperly, it is the duty of the law offices to arrest him, when applied to by you. I know of no law requiring you to procure license to sell Candies &c. at church or school fairs, festivals &c. Never heard of a license being asked for before. Please ask the Judge to state where the law is to be found. I should like to see it. I hope the school will go on without difficulty. If forced to go to law, it is hard for you to get justice in a Maryland Court. I trust the time is near when you will be able to protect yourselves with the ballot. Very Respectfully, Yours [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. [[end page]] [[start page]] 980 Bureau R. F. & A. L. Head Quarters Asst. Com'r D.C. Washington, Feb. 6th 1869. [[underlined]] Hatfield [[/underlined]] Rev. [[underlined]] E. F. [[/underlined]] New York City. Dear Sir: I received a letter from [[underlined]] Smallwood, [[/underlined]] and wrote him that if the salary named was not sufficient, and I found him worthy it would be increased. He has not reported himself. I suppose the Oxford man has gone to Ann Arundel Co. Md., I sent his transportation but have not heard from him. I have no place for a white. Transportation will be received soon. Think you will get [[strikethrough]] deserved [[/strikethrough]] desired help in South Carolina.
