Washington D.C.
Sept 3d 1867.

Mr J H Butler,

Sir,
I send you four (4) plans which you can put in the hands of those who build the four (4) houses, for their guide.

If  you can buy lumber sawed out [[strikethrough]] in [[/strikethrough]] at Mills in the County, you had best tell us, for it ought to be cheaper in Calvert Co than we can buy it in Baltimore or Washington & save the freight.

Vy respy. yours,
John Kimball
Supt of Schools
