Mill Stone Landing St Mary's Co Md
Mr. Kimball
Dear Sir
I arrived Mill Stone Landing wednesday afternoon. I have opened my School with but few Scholars at present as the people did not expect me so soon or they were unprepared to send most of the children; I find sir that the people are destitute of a clock for the school house also a bell: the people also where I heard have nothing by which I can tell the time to commence or close my school: so I thought that I would apply to you to see if it is in your power to send us a Clock and Bell or tell me how we can obtain them
