the cotton crop has failed for the last four years. As a general thing in my Sub-Dist the Freed people are too poor to buy themselves necessary clothing.

The freed people here are very anxious to have their children educated and I am extremely sorry that they will be deprived of competent teachers by G.O. No. 19.

Very respectfully
Your Ob't Serv't.
