[[preprinted]] 57 [[/preprinted]] Washington D C. April 17th 1867. Rev E. P Smith. Dear Sir We want to give notice that the Normal School will open on the 1st day of May. And by making the notice extensive, get a large number of students. Are we safe in thus doing. Will you have the teacher on hand. I think we can help out in the salary if it is necessary. I should think it not but to engage Mr Williams or whoever you send. for later than September. This is Gnl Howard's idea. Very respectfully John Kimball Supt of Schools
