Upper Marlboro  December 16th 1868

Rev Jno Kimball

Dear Sir:

Yours of 16th Inst. was duly rec'd, and I now hasten to answer it.  In regards to the delay in forwarding the report for the month of November, I have had my reports ready since the 1st of the present month but were waiting for the School Committees to have their monthly meeting, they have neglected it as to the present moment so I can not give you the fixed amount that has been paid over for the support of the School.  I have let them know that I were waiting on them.  In the future there shall be no delay, for any foreign cause whatever.  I shall let you have the information as soon as they meet.

Very Respectfully Yours,
