Oakhill, Mongomery Co. Md.

July 11th 1868

Rev. John Kimball

Dear Sir

I have had an interview with the people of this place and they after I made the facts plain to them and conditions they seem to be ready and willing to push foward the work of building their school House and to have it ready for use by the first of October.  They have a portion of their timber on the ground and will have the other part hawled in a few days.  You have all the directions how to send the material, please send it to them as soon as convenient that they may not be delayed on account of not having the lumber.

Yours Respectfully
