[[underlined]] Haviland  Miss E. [[/underlined]]

Dear Miss:

I write to ask you if you will not ask your father if he will not help you[[?]] to look up a last package of books.  They were sent by [[underlined]] Cushings and Bailey [[/underlined]] to [[underlined]] W. F. Brooks, [[/underlined]] (colored teacher) of the Benedict School, who has left on account of sickness.  There was sent by boat to Benedict, otherwise to Hughesville but he did not get them.  The worth of the books is $15.00.  I do not know who else to write to.  I suppose they went to [[underlined]] H. G. Stage. [[/underlined]]  How about the school near year.

Very Respectfully, Yours,
Sgd. John Kimball,
Supt. Education.

[[underlined]] Cheney  Miss E. D. [[/underlined]]

Dear Miss:

I think it well to send a new teacher to Hagerstown.  Mr. [[underlined]] Lee's [[/underlined]] a good man and is respected by the people, but did not have a first class school, though he did very well, and I hope you have a place for him somewhere.  The room in which he taught was not well fitted for the purpose, and his school was not as orderly as I like to see.  I would send a first rate colored teacher to Hagerstown, or one of our good Northern white ladies.

Hope you will employ Mrs. [[underlined]] Clark [[/underlined]] at Brighton, Montgomery Co.  She has applied to that place, I think, and is one of the best teachers I know of, and worth more money than most.  Hope you will help all you can in Maryland.  Suppose you will send through [[underlined]] Wm. Core [[/underlined]] and the [[underlined]] Balt. Asso., [[/underlined]] or I should ask for help in some part of Md.  I want over (80) eighty teachers.

Very Respectfully, Yours,
(Sgd.) John Kimball
Supt. Education.

[[underlined]] Johnson  Geo. Mr. [[/underlined]]
Frostburg, Md.

Dear Sir:

Let the teachers make a copy of the deed of the school lot, and send it to me.  If it is all right and recorded, we shall help you to $200.00, as soon as the house is done.  You can use this promise to keep you in finishing the house.  We cannot pay the money until the house is done, but then it is sure.  I will try to get the Society to let the teacher stay with you, if he desires so to do.  Let him write me if he wants to stay immediately.  If he does not stay, I will send you another man in October.

Respectfully Yours,
John Kimball
Supt. Education.

[[underlined]] Cummings  Miss A. H. [[/underlined]]

Dear Sir:

I send you the amount stated by you to be due $22.60/100 for which receipt, I am very sure that I have paid you before, but cannot find receipts, so I send as above.  Do you wish to teach next term, and if so shall probably want to send you to another place, unless there are special reasons for your remaining where you are.

Respectfully,
John Kimball,
Supt. Education.
