The freedmen are generally anxious for schools and as soon as crops are gathered will go to work to erect houses for school purposes, as it is not possible to get other buildings except for an enormous rent. 
 
There is a decided objection here to educate the f.m. or to have it done as is shown by their refusal to sell land for school purposes and in Corsicana they drove a colored man out of the County for undertaking to teach the black children.

Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servt
