Parker's Creek  Calvert County  Maryland

January 14th 1869

Rev John Kimball

Dear Sir

The school at this place is not in session this week.  The Plasterers are plastering the ceiling of this House, then it will be more comfortable than it was.  The cost of this House in building & cost of land was | $152.22
Paid on building and land | 101.10
Leaving a ballance due of | 51.12

The school numbers about 22 schollars and the teacher seems to be doing all she can but this is the hardest place in the County.  The people promised to send their children to school and make up a larger number of schollars  Miss Carrie Cummings had sent you a copy of Deed of school lot before I arrived here

Yours Respectfully
