Asbury Chapel Calvert County Md 
January 19th 1869 

Rev John Kimball 

Dear sir 
The school House at this place is nearly finished. The plastering is nearly done and the porch is up and twenty desks made. And the cost of work done and the purchase of the land are $275.00 and all have been paid. The people want to have their lot fenced in as soon as possible. Miss Hoy's school numbers 55 schollares and still they come. The people say their children learn verry fast under the tuition of their present teacher. I enclose the Deed of school House of this place

Yours Respectfully
