40 Cowhill Boston Feby, 21 1868 Rev John Kimball Supt Freedmans Schs. Washington D.C. Dear Bro I want to ask a favor and if in your power I hope you will grant it. I want for my own use a copy of the different semi annual & other reports of the Bureau upon schools. I don't know Mr Alvord well enough to ask him, but suppose you can help me to them as well. I am hard at work in the cause of the Tract Soc more particularly in the Southern work. I see your name occasionally & am glad to see you well spoken of. Shall hope to be in Wash. this spring & there hope to see you. As of old Yours Truly, [[signature]] H.E. Simmons [[/signature]] Dist Sec Am Tract Soc
