Washington June 8 1870

J B Armstrong Esq
Port Deposit, Md.

Dr Sir
Yours of 4" inst is at hand. I have sent the bills to John H Butler who will return them to you. I find that this Bureau has assisted the Darlington School to the amount of $659 39/ which is nearly $400 more than they ought to have been assisted, as other localities get only about $250. Mr Butler will see the Trustees and try to have the bills paid.

Yours Respfy
