rate. I think I will write him this afternoon to the effect that there is a good teacher at A. whom he can have by sending to you - And then I think it best to be so frank with Miss N. as to say that as a consequence of some of the friction that has disturbed our Augusta Enterprise we think it best to make some change in some of our teachers, tho. we shall retain one or two, to assist the new ones somewhat in getting the schools into operation. I have written Capt. Prince & tendered him the superintendence of our schools in A. on Condition that the Cost would not be too great to our treasury. I wish you would incourage him to accept, at least temporarily or till other arrangements can be made; tho. I judge that he would be "the right man in the right place," if he were to be our permanent superintendent.

In regard to a house I suppose Mr. Smith our feild Secretary will be in A. tomorrow who will make the needful arrangements. If he does not reach then before the 1st Oct. you & Capt. Prince must represent our interests & procure such a house as is needful for the number of teachers that will be needed in A. this season. If you can procure such a house on terms that seem to you to be reasonable, procure it without delay - if the terms seem unreasonable, please telegraph us for instruction. Please write by return mail as to the number of teachers that will [[meet]] the [[case?]] for the season. We have recd. letters from Charleston & Savannah advising us not to send teachers before the middle of the month on account of sickness. Is there the same danger in going to A.? 
Very respectfully your
