finding night and Day work too irksome Have a plan in view for their continuance and will report progress next month. 

The Freedmen are coming forward nobly not only in the Educational but also in the Mission work. They have already commenced contributing their nites to the Sabbath School & Mission Enterprises They are very clamorous for a School House and I do not think there is a more important point in the state than Camden. How is the School House work progressing. If I could manage them I could easily secure 150 scholars and a large night school. I have refused ten already who wished to come next month. And all that have patronized this month have paid promptly. The reason the amount paid is not reported $100.00 is that several of the scholars have been enrolled only one week and their pay is counted on next months tuition. My regards to Mrs Colby
