[[preprinted]] 443 [[/preprinted]] June 1st Mr. J. W. Grimke Solomon's Island, Md. Dear Sir: If Mr. Thaddeus Washington calls on you please tell him that I want him to go to Parker's Creek and report to Mr. George Coates that he is the teacher sent to open school there. I made a mistake in sending him to Solomon's Island. Tell him that Capt. Peter Brooks in your neighborhood will instruct him how to proceed to Parker's Creek. Very Respectfully, Yours, W. L. Van Derlip Bvt. Maj. & Supt. of Education per J. Q. Crosby.
