Friend Kimball:

Will it not be well for  you, as Supt. of Schools, Freedmen's Bureau, to put a card in the papers tomorrow. morning, inviting all teachers and pupils of colored schools in the District to participate in the Celebration?

I have spoken to Mr. Cook, and he agreed to see the Comte. of Arrangements; also to see you and determine on a plan.

The plan - i.e. place of underoom[[wild guess]] part which the schools shall take., - may be announced on Monday morning, if not earlier.

Yours truly.
