Mr Kimball.

Sir.

On Saturday past, the Rockville Board of Trustees held their Festival as appointed, and waited all day expecting your arrival and were very much disappointed.  By order, or permission of the Board of Trustees, I closed the school.  I had the children on a short exibition and gave aparently good satisfaction, and they all considered it would be much better not to hold during the month of August, and to have it opened at the 1st September.

I shall be in Washington very soon, on Wednesday morning I shall call and see you to give and to get further infirmation

Your Obt Servt.
