Dear Sir:
We have a school house at Parish of Plocks[?] a few miles this side of where you are stopping. I wish you would go there and tell them you are sent by me to teach school. I wish them to get up a good school and pay your board. I have written them about a teacher but have no reply, but as we have helped them to a house we expect them to have a school. If this does not succeed let me know and I will see what can be done next. Should have answered sooner but have been away.

Very Respectfully Yours,

Superintendent of Education.

[[underlined]] To the Colored People at Point of Rocks [[/underlined]]:
The bureau has aided you to build a school house and church, and now we are able to help you to a school. I wish you to receive [[underlined]] Mr. Henderson [[/underlined]] and pay his board and send a large number of children to this school, this summer. I have written Rev. Mr. Kennedy about a school for you, but as he has left, suppose he did not get the letter. Don't fail to avail yourselves of the present opportunity to raise your dear children from ignorance. I hope to visit you soon.

Very Respectfully Yours,

Superintendent of Education

I shall visit you before long. In the mean time, I advise you when a good man is sent to teach, you only to pay his board, that you receive him in love, and have no trouble among yourselves. I wrote [[underlined]] Mr. M. Grath [[/underlined]], but suppose you will all have a hand in the matter. I shall send [[underlined]] Mr. Green [[/underlined]] else where, if he has not already gone. Unless you show a desire to have a school, which you ought to show, I wish him to stay where he was sent.

Very Respectfully Yours,

Superintendent of Education

Dear Sir:

If you are teaching at Princess Anne and doing well, all right! If not and you think a change must be made, I wish you to go to Berlin, Worcester Co. and report to [[underlined]] Rev. Rof. [[?]] J. Baker [[/underlined]] who will set you at work. Tell him that I sent you in answer to his letter. Write to me what you do.

Very Respectfully, Yours,

Superintendent of Education

The man Henderson who was sent to Berlin made a mistake and has gone another way.

Dear Sir:

I have approved your corrected account after conversation with [[underlined]] Genl. Howard. [[/underlined]] He says that he did promise shools were carried on through or nearly through the school
