We object very much to crowding things in this way, and think by all means they should put the house [[underlined]] right away [[/underlined]] on the land bought for it. [[?]] no others. Hoping you and yours are well and prospering, for this life, and that to come. I am Yours, Very Truly, Supt. Education. [[line across page]] 71 Bureau R.F. and A.L. Office Supt. Education, D.C. &c Washington, Sept. 6 1869. [[underlined]] Van Derlip Maj. [[/underlined]] Major: [[underlined]] Cox [[/underlined]] did not promise, but said he would see what could be done: thought they might employ [[underlined]] Mrs. C. [[/underlined]] I know of no other Society that would pay her well. The best way is for her to get the place direct from New England Society, and have nothing to do with the Balt. Society. All well. Truly Yours [[signature]] J Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. Education. N.B. A letter just in from Core, says he will provide for Brighton. I suppose he will do so, by sending [[underlined]] Mrs. Clarke. [[/underlined]] Suppose you call on him. [[line across page]] 72 Bureau R.F. and A.L. Office Supt. Education, D.C. &c Washington, Sept. 6th 1869. [[underlined]] Scott Mr. [[/underlined]] Dear Sir: If you can send for them, I can furnish Testaments, and Bibles, and papers for Sunday School. Respectfully, (sgd) John Kimball, Supt. Education.

Lee [[/underlined]] is here, and wants to get back to his school, but is out of money, not having received any salary yet. Says he has written you, but has received no reply. Cannot you send him money by return mail to 535 1st Washington, D.C. [[end page]] [[start page]] Could you send me also the money due for books. Respectfully Yours, Supt. Education. [[line across page]] 74 Bureau R.F. and A.L. Office Supt. Education, D.C. &c Washington, Sept. 8th 1869. [[underlined]] Middleton E. J. Esq. [[/underlined]] School Commt. for 4th Dis., Washington Co. Sir: There is need of a Col'd School near the City boundary, 4th Dist. [[underlined]] Genl. Howard [[/underlined]] is willing to furnish a building for some of you, will pay the salary of the teacher. There is a colored man, student in the Law Dept. of the University, who would like the place, and would teach a good school. Will you aid to support a school in this place. You know how the population is necessarily outside the City limits, around the place designated. [[underlined]] Genl. Howard [[/underlined]] requested me to make this application to you. Respectfully Yours, [[signature]] J Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. Education. [[line across page]] 75 Bureau R.F. and A.L. Office Supt. Education, D.C. &c Washington, Sept. 8th 1869. [[underlined]] Corson Col. R. R. [[/underlined]] Dear Sir: I hope you will be able to send more teachers than during last year to Md. I do not know what they will do if you fail. I think the schools should open on the 1st of Oct. I have not seen Miss Cornish, but have her letters and reports, and think she is one of the last to be employed. Hope you will secure that bill. [[underlined]] James [[/underlined]] would do well, but would send him to another place. I have a large number of applicants. Some will do very well. I will send you a list of places in a few days, and the names of teachers, that I would like you to place in them, so far as I have them. I expect to leave this work, in October, and go to California to stay, but will be able to see the school started before leaving. Respectfully Yours, [[signature]] J. Kimball [[/signature]] Supt. Education.
