Damascus Mongomery Co. Maryland Feb 22nd 1869 Rev. John Kimball Dear Sir I drop you these few lines to let you know that the people here have done very little in building their House since I was here last. They say that they have been disappointed so often by the mechanics that they could not do any better than they have done. They have two men Framing the House and a stone Mason building a stone foundation. The trustees say that they will have it finished by April 1st and will write to you as soon as finished Yours Respectfully [[signature]] John H. Butler [[/signature]]
