give the school a coal stove (second hand), and twenty desks, each one for two scholars, thus seating forty scholars, if the people will send for them. It will be a great shame if in so large a place as Rockville, the people do not keep up the school when the salary of the teacher is paid. I will give the things at any time to a team coming to Howard University. Very Respectfully, Yours, [[signed]] John Kimball [[/signed]] Supt. of Education. [[line across page]] 1080 Bureau R.

Dear Sir: I will be able to send you another teacher very soon. You will have to do for him the same that you did for Mr. [[underlined]] Harris. [[/underlined]] I could not get him to return.

Do you find the school large and interesting? I expect you to do well. I have heard some unpleasant things of you from Charlestown. I understand you have a wife there. If anything is done by you not right, at Port Tobacco it will be a great grief to me, and cause your immediate discharge.

I shall be glad to help you to obtain employment at the close of your school, if in my power, and if you do your duty now. Very Respectfully, Yours, [[signed]] John Kimball [[/signed]] Supt. of Education.
