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
