Dear Sir:

If James has not gone tell him to get off at Laurel and go by stage direct to Sandy Springs.  I have sent [[underlined]] Virginia P. Taylor [[/underlined]] to Buckeystown.  Miss [[underlined]] J. Wilson [[/underlined]] at Birdville.  [[underlined]] Ellen Watts [[/underlined]] at Rockville, [[underlined]] Mary J. Barker [[/underlined]] at Huntingtown in place of [[underlined]] Charles Shadd, [[/underlined]] and –– them on your account.  I do not think it [[blank]] to open a school at Spencerville at present.  It is near Sand Springs, and other neighborhoods are worse off.  I would like her to go to Milestown St. Mary's Co.  She takes the Steamer Express at Baltimore on Tuesday 4 P.M. for Washington and lands at Cobrams Wharf.  Mr. [[underlined]] John Dickerson [[/underlined]] is the Trustee of the school to whom she will apply.

Very Respectfully, 
Your obdt. servt.

If the Steamer is not remaining at the time, she had better go to the school in Anne Arundell Co. at Mt Zion.  She will then take the steam Wednesday 6 A.M., for Fair Haven and inquire for [[underlined]] Thomas Harvey. [[/underlined]]
