Robyville Prince Georges Co Md
Feb 8th 1869

Rev John Kimball

Dear Sir

The school House here is the poorest concern I have come up with in all my travels. I saw Mr Roby and he said that he was to see you last week and you and himself have had a perfect understanding about the school House.  Miss Smith is exerting all of her powers to make this school a success.  And if the matter be taken out of Mr Roby's hands the people say they can get along much better.  The Rool Book of this school have 29 scholars on it.  And the trustees say that the number will be increased in the spring.

Verry Respectfully &c
