Nacogdoches, Texas, July 1. 1867

Lt J.T. Kirkman
A.A.A.G.

The freedmen have built a church a mile from this town which will also answer for a schoolhouse and have called upon me for assistance in obtaining a teacher. I think the average attendance will be some 50 pupils: and would respectfully request that a teacher be furnished. would recommend a formal teacher as many of the families will be unable to pay tuition fees. 

Very Respectfully 
Your Obt Sevrt
