Little Union Worcester County Md.
October 6th 1868
Rev. John Kimball

Dear sir

I write to inform you that I have seen a portion of the people here  We had a large turn out last night and after they herd the statement that I made to them they concluded that if you or the Bureau would furnish them the amount of three hundred dollars as I stated [[strikethrough]] th [[/strikethrough]] to them they would buy land have it deeded and build a house as directed by the plan  they can buy lumber down here much cheper than in Balt. and by laying out $300 dollars here for them they can do better and we save the freight.  They seem to be in earnest about the school house and as this County is so far behind in school houses I think this can be put up in a short time  They want to know from you as soon as possible if they can go on and buy and deed the land if so write to George Ginn Newton Worcester Co. Md.
