John Kimble Esq

Dear Sir.
I sent you, a few days since a complete set of our educational works for the freedman. I would thank you to give them an examination They are thought, by good judges, to be admirably adapted to the wants of the class who come under your superintendancy. We are anxious to have them introduced into the freedmen's schools as widely as may be. If you could aid us in this matter, we should be very grateful for your help. And if you would be so kind as to inform us how it could be done, and how many would be needed for this purpose, in connection with schools under your care that may be unsupplied, it would be considered a great favor by us.

In furnishing these books for schools, we are willing to give them to those pupils
