Gen Supt of Education Geo

Dear Sir

I regret to announce to you, that pecuniary reason. will compell me soon to resign my position of Procuptor of Church school.
I have labored here to 4 months and have received $15. Dollars - And have done my best in trying to collect from those who promise to pay. The failure in the cotton crop, and the pressure of the Landholders has been so great on the Freedmen that they are unable to pay any thing. This will be my last months report to your Honorable board.
And if you can send me any aid I shall most certainly appreciate it highly as my family is in want of my aid and assistance. Hope to hear soon from you
I Remain yours Truly
Louis W. Poole
