Office S.A.C. B.R.F &. A.L 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 (Signed) Edwin. O. Gibson 1 L"t. 26" Infty & S.A.C.
