Anderson, [[/underlined]] Forktown. Mrs [[underlined]] Leach [[/underlined]] at Great Mills could gather only five or six pupils and has closed her school. Emily Johnson has probably returned from Union Bridge. These two are not included in the list. I am not certain whether Miss [[underlined]] Cummings [[/underlined]] will go to St. Clements or not.

[[underlined]] Brackett Rev. N. C. [[/underlined]] Harper's Ferry, W. Va. Dear Sir: Yours received. Is the school at Pleasant Valley a suitable place to send a lady teacher (colored)? I think I can furnish a lady for the place, but am not sure about a man. About how many pupils can be gathered. Very Respectfully, Yours, D. G. Swain, Bvt. Maj. U.S.A. A.D.C. and Act. Supt. Ed.

Miss: I have no other school to offer you now. Most of our schools are supplied with teachers, and [[end page]] [[start page]] those which are not require men. You must do the best you can, and not get discouraged. If the people want a night school, and you are not able to take charge of it, I think we can provide for that. There is a young colored lady here who is attending [[underlined]] Howard University, [[/underlined]] but who wants to go out into the country, and study in one of our schools. I have advised her to go to Sandy Springs, and attend your school. She is willing to teach night school and I think her competent. She will probably call on you this week. P.S. I send you a school register and blanks. Please report your school at the end of each month. Very Respectfully, Yours, D. G. Swain, Bvt. Maj. U.S.A. A.D.C. and Act. Supt. Ed.

Dear Sir: You stated in letter of the 6th ult. that you knew of no colored men suitable to follow your Wayland students as teachers. On the 22d ult. I sent you an application of Mr. [[underlined]] H. Harden [[/underlined]] for an appointment to teach in Maryland, with testimonial of [[underlined]] Rev. G. P. King [[/underlined]] but have received no reply. Hope you are not going to desert Maryland entirely. We have still many schools in the State in need of teachers, and in some localities the people are making earnest calls for them. We are occasionally applied to for situations to teach, by young me [sic] who might render good service, and who are anxious to go. [[underlined]] Col. R. R. Corson, [[/underlined]] Secy. [[underlined]] Pa. Branch F. U. Commission [[/underlined]] wrote me a few days since that they had a few more young men whom they would like to send out but thought they could support, then as many as they had in the field. We have located forty one teachers for this Society, in Maryland since October 1st. I hope you will aid in this matter as much as possible. Very Respectfully, Yours, D. G. Swain, Bvt. Maj. U.S.A. A.D.C. and Act. Supt. Ed.
