[[preprinted]] 131 [[/preprinted]] Nov 21st 7 Dear Mr Coffin, A Miss Powell (colored) who lives, I believe, with Mr Alsop, wrote me about a school & I replied as follows "If without interfering with the school at Mukirk Furnace you will have enough children for a good sized school" &c. I thank you for writing me. We shall build no school near you. I do not know where Mr Alsop lives, if we can get a house 6 or 7 miles away I know you will be glad. I send you some blanks, please have your teachers report every month, and oblige yours truly John Kimball Supt of Schools
