Bladensbury Feb 6th 1869
To Rev. John Kimball
Rev. Sir,
Mr. Bowman requested me to write to you and say that the reason why he has not been to see you was because he has been sick. 
The parties or party owning the ground told the people that they were not in a hurry for their money, so all the money that the people could spare they have been paying for the building, on which they now owe 31.$ and 81 $ on the ground.  As soon as Mr. Bowman is able he will call to see you
Very respectfully
