1196 Bureau R. F. and A. L. Office Supt. of Education D.C. Washington. July 1st 1869. [[underlined]] Henry [[/underlined]] Rev. [[underlined]] John [[/underlined]] Ellicott City, Baltimore, Md. 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, [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. [[line across page]] 1197 Bureau R. F. and A. L. Office Supt. of Education D.C. Washington. July 1st 1869. [[underlined]] Bond [[/underlined]] Miss [[underlined]] Matilda [[/underlined]] Rockville, Montgomery Co. Md. 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. Very Respectfully, Yours, [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. [[line across page]] 1198 Bureau R. F. and A. L. Office Supt. of Education D.C. Washington. July 1st 1869. [[underlined]] Arnold [[/underlined]] Rev. [[underlined]] W. R. [[/underlined]] 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.

Washington. July 1st 1869. [[underlined]] Wood [[/underlined]] Miss [[underlined]] E. R. [[/underlined]] Washington, D.C. 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, [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. [[line across page]] 1200 Bureau R. F. and A. L. Office Supt. of Education D.C. Washington. July 1st 1869. [[underlined]] Core John Esq. [[/underlined]] 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, [[signature]] John Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. of Education. [[line across page]] 1201 Bureau R. F. and A. L. Office Supt. of Education D.C. Washington. July 1st 1869.
