Rev. John Kimball

Dear sir
I am here at this place and have been looking after the school here There have been no school started here yet. Though the people thought to have commenced their school before this time. They say that they received a letter from the Educational association of Balt stating that if they would pay for the board and washing of a teacher would send them one. They answered the letter of the association stating that they were ready. While waiting for their teacher they received another letter that the people would have to pay ten dollars additional per month after they received the second letter they called the people together and then they found that board, washing, lights, and fuel would with the ten dollars per month would be more than 25 dollars per month which they
