has averaged about 30 schollars & the night school about the same - The teacher is a cold man by name of Alexander Orman who was broken w/o in undertaking planting of cotton on his own account. He has given strict attention to his school and relies for his compensation upon amounts subscribed by Freedmen & others of this place - In many instances those that have larger families & small crops will be unable to pay him.
If you could assist a little in paying this teacher I assure you it will be done to a worthy and industrious poor man.
Yours very Respect
