[[preprinted]] 206 [/preprinted] Oct 27th Mr John P [[Dodge?]] Dear Sir, I understand you have given a lot for a Colored School, & that the people have raised some money to erect a School House. Please write me, if the deed is made out & to whom & for what purpose, and if the people will be able with the help of $200.00 from the Bureau to put up a house 20 x 32 ft (the plan I will send). Also if they can pay the board & other expenses of the school, if we can send a teacher & get certain parties to pay the salary. Will you tell me where Norbeck is. Please reply immediately. Very resp yours John Kimball Bureau Supt of Schools
