she will attend to it all right.  I trust that you will do what you can for them at this point there is a large colored population right here and enough children to have a school of over one Hundred.  As yet nothin has been done for them. They have no blackboard, no chawk, & not anything in the way of school fixtures.

If you obtain the money I will take some point to look after this myself.  This is written in great haste.  I shall write to you soon again from the Village.

Yours truly,
F. Downs
