Horse Head, Prince George Co. Md.

Rev. John Kimball

Dear Sir

I write to inform you that the Plum Point school Houses are progressing slooly the frame work is up and the workmen are at work on it and say that they will have it ready in four weeks.  The Swamp Chapel school House is about its commencement that is they are hauling the sills and lumber and I saw the builder and trustees and had an understanding with them to commence building forthwith.  I written to Mr. VanDerlip about the Parkers Creek school there seems to be a misunderstanding with the teacher and some of the Parents about his whipping the children very badly so much so that one family have 5 children but will not send them any more while he is there as they say they have talked with him and tried him the third time, not as I want to harm the young man at all but I must do my duty in reporting to you just as things are
