where they expect very much. Wish you would tell me something about those you send. I can tell better where to place them. Very Respectfully, Yours, (Sgd.) John Kimball, Supt. Education.

[[/underlined]] Dear Sir: I want some good men for winter schools which should now open. Cannot you give us some, say 10 or 15. You know the field and the conditions. The people pay the board, and you furnish the salary $10.00 per mo., of which you get from the Bureau by way of rent. I want some men to carry on the work begun by your students last summer. I send you a bill against [[underlined]] A. F. Jones. [[/underlined]] This is the only money now due me by the students. I think he has left his school, and therefore cannot get an order from him. Will you please forward the money, and oblige, Yours Truly, (Sgd.) John Kimball, Supt. Education. [[line across page]] 168 Bureau R.F. and A.L. Office Supt.

[[/underlined]] Dear Sir: [[underlined]] Swan [[/underlined]] has written me that with your consent, he shall return to West River. If I had your permission, and his address, I would now send [[underlined]] J. J. Carter [[/underlined]] to Birdsville, about eight miles from West River. Will you not send him? [[underlined]] Miss Cornish [[/underlined]] will go to Gatesville, I suppose, under the [[underlined]] Pa. Asso. [[/underlined]] Cannot you give us some good men? We want them very much.

[[underlined]] Flett Mr. James S. [[/underlined]] Dear Friend: Mr. [[underlined]] Israel Butler, [[/underlined]] President of the Board of School Trustees is now in my office, and tells me of some trouble about your boarding place. I hope you may do all in your power to harmonize matters, and interest all in the school; both wings of the church (Methodist), and everybody else. The trustees duly elected, of course, will have charge of the school, and provide you a boarding place, near the school, where you can board, and where it will be more pleasant to you, and will cost the trustees no more than at the place first thought of by them, then I trust they will see it best for you to board where you desire. I expect you to consult with the Trustees, and all to get on quietly together. Respectfully Yours, (Sgd.) John Kimball, Supt. Education. P.S. If the plan stated above succeeds, I think it would not be well to make any hasty charge. I know some of the Board of Trustees to be good men, and to have done much for the school. [[underlined]] Mr. Davis, [[/underlined]] and [[underlined]] Mr. Butler [[/underlined]] have worked well. I presume they are all good men, though I am not acquainted with them. (Sgd.) J.K.

Gentlemen: I have sent you Mr. Fleat of this City, to teach your school. I am very sorry to hear that you are having any trouble. I expect him to consult with you, and you with him, and all work in harmony. If there is a place near the school house, handy for night as well as day school, where he can board with no more expense to you, than at the place selected in town. I think it would be well to have him board at that place, viz, at Hibbards. I do not
