Churchville March 1st 1869.
Rev. Jno. Kimball.
Sir,
Your kind favor was duly received, and I am obliged to you for the same.
I informed the Trustees of your reply, and they were much encouraged by it.
I will send you a copy of the grant as soon as they deliver it to me.
I am much gratified to learn that you were pleased with your visit here, and hope you will again visit us ere long.
The people of Churchville generally, are very moral, and merit the respect of all classes.
I almost wish sometimes that there was a little excitement that you might visit us.
The school has never been visited by anyone.
I am pleased to inform you that persons of position without regard to politics advocate the educational improvement of the Colored People, and have assisted, and will again assist the school, and also in enlarging the school-house.
This I think is quite encouraging.
Trusting that it may be agreeable to you to visit us, I am very respectfully yours -
