Friend Brackett,
I have put matters agoing to get your transportation. I believe we have got or shall get brick to build some school houses. Now I wish you would get things under way. Will you not buy land at Martinsburg, and deed it as we talked, and get the colored people to promise to put up the building, & not only promise, but raise the money (and I think they can buy the lot). When they will do this and are ready we will send bricks & lumber &c. for the building. I think we will build about 20 x 32 ft. & 12 feet posted. We want to move this matter along at once, & to begin at M or some other place if you think best.
Very respectfully
John Kimball
Supt of Schools.
