Rev John Kimball

Sir

I have heard that my reports have none of them reached you. I regret this very much for I have made them out and sent them promptly. I would not neglect so important a matter, I have therefore made them out again from duplicates in my possession, and will have them registered to insure against accident.

Col R. R. Corson told me I had better write to you, he also promised to send me my salary in advance. My School is doing well now and a bright prospect of doing better this month, I need books and many things that is almost indispensable, I hope to see you soon for I need your advice. I am hopeful for the future.

Respectfully
