Washington. April 24th 1869.
[[underlined]] Shaw [[/underlined]] Rev. [[underlined]] F. G. [[/underlined]]
New York City.
Dear Sir:
Miss [[underlined]] Maria R. Mann, [[/underlined]] who was formerly under your Society, is still teaching one of the best schools in Washington, or in the country anywhere, but owing to bad management on the part of the trustees she is now without support, and unless she can get assistance will be forced to close her school. I write to ask if your Society will not take the school, and pay her salary? It will be a great misfortunate if she does not continue.
Very Respectfully, Yours,
[[signed]] John Kimball [[/signed]]
Supt. of Education.
