Benedict Charles County Maryland

June 22nd 1868

Rev John Kimball

Dear Sir

I drop you these lines to inform you that I am doing all I can to forward on the good cause.  On the 10th I was in Woodville to see Mr Bowling and paid a visit to that school.  Miss Coakley seems to be getting along very well with her school with an average attendance of about 40 scholars.  Horse Head School House they move slow there they are about making the desks and seats.  Nothingham School House have been closed in and floor laid teachers stand on platform put in and now we are trying to raise money to buy lumber for seats and desks.  Plum Point school House is finished and ready for the Plasterer.  And the school House in the swamp near Galesville A. A. is nearly closed in if they had shingles and weather boarding enough that House would soon be finished
