Oakville St Mary's Co Md.
Oct 28th 1869

Mr D.T. Swaim

Dear Sir:

We are reddy for a teacher, at any time and want you to send us one, as soon as you can.  But be shure and send us a good one, (one of good morrels, & of good education, as you have promist to do).  The best way for the teacher to get here is to come by the way of Baltimore.  Take the steamer boat that comes in the Purtuxin River, to land at Forrist's Wharf, if from Washington, land at Stone's Wharf.
please write to let me kno when the teacher are coming so I can meet the the boat at the worf.

Very Respectfully yours
