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
