Annapolis Nov 25 1867 Rev J Kimball Supt of Schools Washington, D.C. Dear Sir Mr Butler is pushing the Schools as fast as possible and hopes to have all ready by Christmas. Several are all done but plastering. He has now to go to work and raise money to finish them. He says the people are very poor, but will try to raise the money. I presume all the teachers will have to be Colored. Very Respectfully Yours &c [[signature]] W L VanDerlip [[/signature]] Bvt Maj, Sub Asst Comr.. I expect to be in Washington next Monday and hope I shall have better luck in seeing you than I have had.
