Rev. Mr. Kimball

Sir —
The disparaging notice of the examination of the Union Wesley school, contained in the Washington Chronicle of June 30th induces the desire that you should know something of the [[underlined]] history [[/underlined]] of that school. I am well aware that you know it to have been one of the first of the kind established in the city of Washington. The intimation in the article alluded to, that it is well supplied with "books slates, charts &c," would seem to demand that [[underlined]] faithfulness, [[/underlined]] on the part of the teachers, would claim for it a precedence in [[underlined]] rank [[/underlined]] as well. It is not my intention to make an apology, for our shortcomings, but simply to confine myself to a statement of [[underlined]] facts. [[/underlined]]
