I would like to see Mrs Pierce, Mr Lyman and Mr Hubbard return to this District in the fall and as many more as efficient as they are.  
We will doubtless be able to establish a number of self supporting schools but in order to make them a success none but good teachers ought to have charge of them.  I can tell more about the probable number by the first of Sept and in the mean time make necessary enquiries.  Your report for June is received.  But little has as yet been done on the school house.  The health of the freed people is not as good as might be desired and much sickness is anticipated.

I am sir
Very respectfully
Your obdt Servt
