- Description
-
Mary J. C. Anderson writes to the Baltimore Association that the school community at Havre de Grace has abandoned the idea of building a schoolhouse, at least for the present. She mentions that the people in Darlington desire a school under the Baltimore Association. She provides details of a confrontation she had with several young white men, who stole her portfolio. Anderson states that some of her pupils need books but can't afford them, but she allows them books anyway in the hope that the cost will be deducted from her salary.
