Madame:

I replied to yours of the 27th ult., but we have not heard from you since, and fear your letter may have been interrupted.  Please inform us if you have sent a teacher to Upper Marlboro.

Miss [[underlined]] York [[/underlined]] has paid for the books, the bill of which I sent you.

Very Respectfully,
Clerk.

Philadelphia, Pa.

Dear Sir:

In reply to yours of the 8th inst. Miss [[underlined]] Alexander [[/underlined]] has made no report for December.  Have her send that and then we can fix the pay &c.  We will be obliged to discontinue Miss [[underlined]] Lyon's [[/underlined]] school I fear.

If Miss [[underlined]] Johnson [[/underlined]] has not started yet please tell her that all the Bay Steamers have ceased running, and to get to Tracy's Landing School she will have to take the boat to West River instead of Fair Haven.

Very Respectfully, 
Bvt. Maj. and Supt. Education

Wilmington, Del.

Dear Sir:

I enclose herewith the schedule of schools under your Asst. for signature.

The schedule appears to be right with the exception of the Georgetown schools, which falls below the limit for which rent can be allowed, but as it is only for one month I think we can pass it.

Very Respectfully, Yours,
Bvt. Maj. and Supt. Education.

I am writing for deed of Middletown school-house.

Dear Sir:

Please find enclosed teachers pay account for December.  Miss [[underlined]] R. L. Alexander [[/underlined]] neglected to report, and her name is not included in the list.

I have added the amount which it costs for revenue stamps on teacher's checks.  If you choose to pay this it will save deducting two cents on every twenty dollars.

Very Respectfully, Yours,
W. L. Van Derlip
Bvt. Maj. and Supt. Education, D.C. &c.
