We have sent you a teacher who ought to have reported here ere this. Have you heard from her. Her name is Miss [[underlined]] Douglass. [[/underlined]] Yours &c., Bvt. Maj., and Supt. Education.

[[/underlined]] Philadelphia, Pa. Dr Sir: [[underlined]] Jenkins [[/underlined]] was to have been here last Saturday. Do you know whether he has gone to Milestown? Has Miss [[underlined]] Johnson [[/underlined]] concluded to go to Tracys landing? I saw a gentleman from Spencerville yesterday, and he confirmed my idea that a schooll could not be raised there. Very Respectfully, Bvt. Maj., and Supt. Education. [[line across page]] 531 Bureau Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, Office Supt. Education, D.C. &c. Washington, Jany 26th 1870.

Dr Sir: I will see if I can get that letter of [[underlined]] Cushings and Bailey [[/underlined]] into this. [[underlined]] Swan [[/underlined]] seems to understand matters now, and I think will collect the money. I wrote him a letter to read to his scholars and their parents. [[underlined]] Gainey [[/underlined]] I judge from his reports is a very poor teacher. He ought to have a large school at Berlin. Very Respectfully, Bvt. Maj., and Supt. Education.

[[/underlined]] Philadelphia, Pa. Dr Sir: I sent [[underlined]] Douglass [[/underlined]] to [[underlined]] Philadelphia [[/underlined]] last night. He is utterly worthless, and has not kept school more than ten days since he was commissioned. I cannot tell anything about his pay until Mr. Crosby comes back. Yours &c., Bvt. Maj., and Supt. Education.
