Rev John Kimball

Dear Sir

I write to inform you that the school here are mooving along tolerbly well Miss P. C. Groves is here and seems to be doing all she can to advance the cause of Education. The people here seems to be dull of understanding their duty. I tried on Sunday to explain to them their duty to their teacher and their teacher's duty to them. And that the Bureau expects them to pay the board and washing of their teacher. The people agreed to do their duty to the teacher as explained to them They say that they will send to you all the documents you require and take care of their teacher The No. on Rool Book is 80 And the people say that the school will be increased in two weeks. Yours Respectfully
