Dear Sir:

[[underlined]] Col. Corson [[/underlined]] writes me that you are ready to go to Forktown, Somerset Co. Md., to take charge of the school there, and requests me to direct you how to go.

The place is on the Delaware R.R., and I think you can get a ticket through from Philadelphia:  if not go to Wilmington, Del., and start from there.  Write me as soon as you arrive.

Dear Sir:

Are the colored people of Oakville ready for a teacher?  I can send them a man more competent than they had last season, and on the same conditions.

Please answer at once, and give directions how the teacher can reach the place, both from this city and from Baltimore.

[[underlined]] Davis  Curtis, Esq. [[/underlined]] 
Custom House, Baltimore.

Dear Sir:

Are the colored people of Federalsburg ready for a teacher?  I can send them a good colored man who will remain until next summer, but shall expect them to get up a school of at least thirty pupils, and pay the teachers board, and incidental expenses of the school.  I will be responsible for his salary.  Please answer without delay, and give directions how the teacher should proceed to that place from Baltimore.
