George Beals School House St. Marys Co. Md.
January 27th 1869
Rev John Kimball

Dear sir

The school House at this place have not been plastered and I did not see Carroll who held the deed, but Mr. Wm H. Foster the teacher will get a copy and send it to you.  They have paid up as far as finished.  The school here numbers on [[?rool]] book 102 schollars and 15 more to come Monday which will increase it to 117 scholars.  Foster says he hardly knows what to do with them, he has to take two of his advanced schollars to assist him.  I told the people to continue to send till the House cannot hold them then we will add more to the House

Respectfully &c
