[[underlined]] Snowden  Mr. T. B. [[/underlined]]

Dear Sir:

I shall be glad to have you return to Pisgah, and you can do so at once, on the same terms as last year, except you will have to pay your way to the field, and the Society will pay it home in July. You are mistaken however about the Baltimore Association. I think I understand that they only require the people to pay the board of the teachers this year, and not a part of the salary.

Let me know at once what you do.

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

I am disappointed in the teacher I expected to send, and shall not be able now to promise you one until a week from to morrow, when I hope to send without fail.

Respectfully Yours,

Dear Miss:

It would give me great pleasure to give you a school, but I have no place where you could live comfortably. The white people will not board a white teacher of a colored school.

I am very sorry that you are not in the field

Dear Sir:

The desks are ready for the school, if you get them soon. [[underlined]] Miss West [[/underlined]] has returned, I want you to arrange for her board, and for the school, in the way that will be best for the school, and all parties concerned. Let there be no discord. The trustees must have charge of the school. If the people are jealous of you, I would let some of the work fall into other hands, and see how they will get along. I hope to see you very soon for the desks.

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

[[underlined]] Johnson  Miss E. C. [[/underlined]]

Dear Miss:

Philadelphia.  I wish you to open school at a place called Muttontown, "Near Union," Bridge, Caroll County, Md. You will come to Baltimore, and take the Western Maryland R.R., at Calvert Station, and stop at Linwood Station. If no one be there to meet you, leave your baggage there and go on to Muttontown, and inquire for [[underlined]] Mr John Thompson. [[/underlined]]  It is only two miles from Linwood. There will be some one to meet you, if you will write to [[underlined]] Mr John Thompson [[/underlined]], Union bridge, the day when you will come. You had better write two or three days before you start. Let me hear from you on your arrival.

Respectfully Yours,
(Sgd.) John Kimball,
