Dear Mr. Kimball
Yours of 12th Enclosing $12 recd. It was understood by us when we took the Maryland Schools that they were to cost us $20 each - Transportation to be paid both ways. It has cost us near one thousand dollars extra to bring our teachers home. The money collected from the people to keep up their schools in the South, was with the understanding that the Bureau paid all transportation - Next year we will try to find out who pays for transportation home before we send our teachers out -

I have paid Locke for April +20 May +20 June +10 - Transportation 8 75 -- 58 75 I think these boys have done a good work in Maryland.

We have decided not to put our house on "I" St up at public sale before fall - Much obliged to you - ought not that house to sell next winter for all or [[underlined]] more [[/underlined]] we gave for it? I think houses in your city
