[[underlined]] Core  Mr. John. [[/underlined]]

Friend Core:  Why cannot those Maine ladies go to Annapolis.  Do you intend to send those of last year back?  I do not think they want to go, or the people to have them.  What do you say.  The school at [[?Boylton]] was private last year. 

Respectfully Yours,
(sgd) John Kimball,
Supt. Education.

Dear Sir:  We are not appointing teachers yet.  I will fill your application for you soon, and do the best I can for him.  I advise you to call on the [[underlined]] Freedmen's Aid Society of Boston, [[/underlined]] they are sending teachers to Maryland.  Your son wrote me that he had not received all his salary.  It was all sent to him by checks.  It may be that he has not received all the checks, and if so, I should like to know what he has received.

Very Respectfully, Yours,
J. Kimball,
Supt. Education.

[[underlined]] Bond  Judge. [[/underlined]]

Dear Judge:  Had a large meeting about seven miles from Centerville, but unwisely staid until evening before going to Queenstown;  when it became dark, and quite a party of bad whites came on the ground, and were heard to make threats against us, and we anticipated trouble on the road.  We were strong at the Camp, had numerous for an attack, and the colored people got us away safely;  over a fence, through corn field to a wagon, by different routes, and reached a town called Queens, where the "big bugs" nearly finished us.  I don't like that County.

Shall help to build some school house.  It is said there are 30 Union men at Centerville, and a Union paper.  I don't know how it lives.  Had some talk with the editor.  He is a pleasant fellow.  Don't know which wing of the party he takes.  Believe he has something to do with Internal Revenue Dept.

I have heard that you can go to C. and make a speech without danger.

Very truly, Yours,
J. Kimball,
Supt. Education.
