John Kimball
Super. of Colored Schools in D.C.

Dear Sir:

I am engaged in teaching a colored on Halls Hill Alexandria County Va. I have been in the school since May 4th. I am sustained by an association of Friends in Philadelphia: Wm Evans 252 South Front St Phil corresponds with me as the Secretary of the Comm.

Our school has been taught mostly out of doors under tall aspen trees in the Wm Miner place. When the weather is unpleasant we go into adjacent houses.
