think it any objection, if [[underlined]] Mr. Hibbard [[/underlined]] belongs to another church, and has taken little interest in the school.  If the teachers boards with one of the other church, that church and [[underlined]] Mr. Hibbard [[/underlined]] may for that very reason do more for the school.  You need to take hold all together, and pay off the debt, and get up a school that will be a credit to Rockville.  I recollect that the house is not yet plastered.  If [[underlined]] Mr. Fleet [[/underlined]] does not conduct himself as a gentleman, I wish to know it at once, or if he is not faithful in his duties.

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

Dear Sir:

I wish you to open school immediately at Sandy Springs, Montgomery Co., Md.  You will leave Philadelphia so as to take the 7 o'clock A.M. train from Baltimore for Washington.  You will get off at Laurel Station, about half way between here and Baltimore, and take the stage, which connects with that train for Sandy Springs;  at which place, you will arrive about noon.  Ask the driver to leave you at [[underlined]] Nelson Squire's [[/underlined]] house.  The stage passes his door.  He is one of the Trustees and will expect you.  You will have fine, new school house, and a class of people glad to receive you.

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