Sir,

I have the honor to inform you that there is a great demand for teachers here_ Applications are continually made to me with the usual inducements of free accommodations & school house for the teacher besides a salary from the freedmen varying from 30 — 40 Dollars dollars per month_ At present I could employ 5 teachers on large plantations_ If in your power please send me that number. The school now established is doing very well and Mr Hazledine is confident of success in his new field of labor_

I am Sir
Very Respectfully
Hiram F Willis
2d Lt & Agt. B.R.F. & A.L.
