Hughesville  Charles County  Md.

July 28th 1868

Rev. John Kimball

Dear Sir

I am here in this County now and things are not mooving on as I would like to see them, but I hope to report more favourable to you soon.  I expect to go to Bryantown, Porttobacco and Newport this week and will let you know how things are mooving.  I want to have all the School Houses in Calvert Co. Plastered as soon as possible that everything may be ready in time.  There are many more complaints of Parents of children who are yet held as bound and I intend to report them to Maj. VanDerlip.

Verry Respectfully

N.B.  Please write to me at Prince Frederick Calvert Co. as I can get my mail when sent for but others will not deliver only to just themselves.
