Dear Sir:

I can send a good colored man to teach a school at Ellicott City this summer, three months beginning July 1st if the people will pay the board, and get up a good school.  I will see his salary paid.  Please reply immediately.

Very Respectfully, Yours,

Miss:

You can go on through July, and stop then if you wish.  I cannot say about the future.  If you did not stop I think the Society would let you go on three months, if the children come out well.

Clear Spring, Washington Co. Md.

Dear Sir:

Your letter received.  I am at Howard University, the Headquarters of the Bureau.  I shall be away most of the month, but shall be glad to see you if I am home.

I cannot say with certainty but think if the people take hold in earnest to build a school-house we can give some help;  cannot say how much.  You should have a good School-house, but in the mean time, think you should use one of your churches, which I do not think any too good for schools.

Miss:

I have just returned from a long trip in the country, and received your letter.  I suppose you have had your examination.  I very much regret that I could not be present.  It would give me great pleasure to visit your school, and I shall do so [[strikethrough]] as [[/strikethrough]] often as I can.

Very Respectfully, Yours,

Baltimore Md.

Dear Sir:

[[underlined]] Kelly [[/underlined]] at Princess Anne thinks he is to hold on if any one.  As you suggested I think, I have sent one of those students for a summer school.  He should not have reached there until to-day, but did go some week ago.  I suppose [[underlined]] Kelley [[/underlined]] is through, is he not?  If so, hope you will make him understand the condition of things.  

Very Respectfully, Yours,
