[[preprinted]] Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, Head-Quarters superintendent for Alexandria, ^[[and]] Fairfax [[strikethrough]] and Loudon [[/strikethrough]] Counties, Alexandria, Va., ^[[October 19th]] 1866. [[/preprinted]] Mr John Kimball Supt. of Schools. Will you be pleased to send me about 50 shool blanks, so to enable me to provide each teacher with one . You sent me but 12 by mail, and I have 16 schools in this City and 8 in Fairfax County. So I need at least 80 each month as the teachers often spoil one in making out. Please send the above number as early as possible. Very Respectfully Your Ob't Serv't. [[signature]] S. P. Lee [[/signature]] Bvt. Col. and Supt.
