American Missionary Association: No. 53 JOHN STREET, New York, 25" Oct 1866 Secretaries: Rev. Geo. Whipple, } New-York. Rev. M. E. Strieby, } Rev. J.R. Shipherd, Chicago. Revd. John Kimball, Sup. of Schools, Washington D.C. Dear Brother, Yours of the 23d is received. I hasten to reply. 1. Mr. Marsh misapprehended my views if he supposed I intended only two teachers for Cap. Hill — The understanding was, that perhaps it would be best to begin with two, & as soon as the two schools were fairly started, to send on the other two, when needed. 2. In regard to Judiciary Square, I am glad you think three are needed there. Our Secretaries are very anxious to make the higher school, a model school, in which desire I most fully share. But to make a "model school" then you want a model teacher. Who shall she be? We want Miss Stebbins
