Rev. Jno. Kimball
Dear Sir:
Miss Lyons went to Princess Anne but was dissatisfied with the place and people. She reported at this office and I have sent her to Clayton, (McComas Institute.)
Elkton, I was informed, had a teacher who was entirely supported by the people. I had a letter from there to that effect. They may have failed to raise the requisite amount, and now ask for aid. 'Tis an important place.
I have places for all the teachers you can send me. I name Still Pond Neck, Quaker Neck, Morgan Creek Neck & Galena in Kent Co., Trappe Ferry Neck & Bayside in Talbot, Salisbury in Wicomico Co., Forest Hill in Harford Co., Salem in Dorchester, Green Hill in Somerset & Union School House in Queen Anne's.
I telegraphed to you today for Miss Haskell's transp'n. Miss Jenness has opened night school and is anxious to get her (Miss H.) assistance. She opened with 34 scholars. Enclosed I forward our A/c for Dec'r. and hope you will put it in the proper channel for payment as well as the a/c already rendered. Your kind attention would much oblige.
Yours Resp'y
