Rev. Jno. Kimball,
Dear Sir:
I herewith forward the reports mentioned as not having been rec'd by you and as being necessary to a settl'm't. of our "Rental a/c". The charge for Tobacco Stick please deduct as that school was not — contrary to my belief — opened.
The following schools were not open in June because of the great falling off in the attendance:
Middletown, Petersville, Denton,
Clayton or McComas Institute,
and the following in May & June
Frederick No. 2. [[preprinted]] BALTIMORE ASSOCIATION

In the case of Jordan at Hickory the school was open only 1/3 of the month of April and as a consequence no report was made.
Hoping this will prove satisfactory and that you will be kind enough to have my a/c settled, I am Sir
Very Respectfully &c
