[[preprinted]] 263 [[/preprinted]] Dec 11" 7 Friend Cadbury, We are wasting a few good colored & white Teachers for Schools in Maryland. The people will pay the board & everything but the salary. Cannot you help us to the [[underlined]] teachers [[/underlined]] & their [[underlined]] salaries [[/underlined]]. We have worked hard to get up the houses and now we want them to be occupied. I do not want several teachers at once but as fast as the places are ready, I want to be able to send for them. I am quite discouraged sometime from my inability to get persons who are willing & fit to go & the money to pay just the salary. Very respectfully yours John Kimball Supt of Schools
