Birdsville A A Co. Maryland April 7th 1869 Rev. John Kimball Dear Sir I am glad to inform you that the School house at this place is nearly ready as far as they have material. The House is put-up verry substantial and the most the people want here is about 3 hundred bricks and 5 hundred feet of white pine boards placed on one side for seats. The people are ready for a teacher if it be convenient to send them one and if so they want a colored Female teacher. I am well acquainted with the condition of the people of this place and believe they are doing the best they can and would recommend that you send them 5 hundred feet of boards for seats and 3 hundred bricks as they had neither bricks nor boards for seats and they will be able to finish their House at once.
