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.
