P.S. Miss Anderson called here today on her way to Port Deposit. Says she has sent her report to you. She got Miss Longstooth to give her a full set of outline maps, and now wants black boards badly. Has given me a list of books wanted, and asks me to advance her one month salary, that is due her for Jan & Feb. I promised to sent it to you. I hope you may be able to visit her school soon
