[[/preprinted]] New York,March 22-/66- Mr. John Kimball. Supt. Schools, Bureau &c. Dear sir, I am in due receipt of your favor of the 21st instant. We are much obliged by the interest you take in our schools & in the education of the colored people generally. You place us under new obligations by furnishing information in respect to the opening for a school, some four miles out of Alexandria, as also, by the promise of furnishing buildings, holli for the school & for the teachers. The subject shall be brought before the Committee, next week, when, I doubt not, steps will be taken to supply the place with teachers. [[underlined]] Will it be safe to put two female teachers there? [[/underlined]] These we can furnish without delay further than the necessary time for making ready & getting to the place. Very truly yours- [[signature]] James J. Woolsey [[/signature]] Sec. Tch. Com. P.S. The teachers we now commission must be supported. Hence we cannot commission the colored ladies.
