Crosby 761 Bureau R.F. and A.L. Office Supt. of Education D.C. Washington, March 25th 1870. [[underlined]] Holt Mr. L. [[?Gantt]] [[/underlined]] Dunkirk, Md. Dear Sir, Yours of the 15th inst requesting, in behalf of the colored people of Hall's Creek, that a teacher be sent to that place, is at hand. It is so late in the season that I fear we shall not be able to send out any more teachers before next fall. If the people apply for one then, and can furnish good school accommodations, and will get up a school of thirty or more pupils who will attend every day, I will try to send them a teacher whose salary will be paid, but I shall expect them to pay her board and the incidental expenses of the school. Very Respectfully, Yours W. L. VanDerlip Bvt. Major and Supt. of Ed. (Sgd) per J. Q. Crosby 762 Bureau R.F. and A.L. Office Supt. of Education D.C. [[underlined]] Grimke J. W. [[/underlined]] St. Leonards, Md. Dear Sir: Yours of the 24th inst is at hand. You request to have your letters addressed to Calvert County. When you write again please state what Post Office. A letter might be sent to Calvert County and not come within twenty miles of you. I send you a school register and blanks. Please make out a report of your school on one of these blanks at the end of this month, giving the number of days you have taught in March and send it to this office on the first of April, and so do at the close of each month.
