Office Sub-Assistant Commissioner, BUREAU OF R. F. & A. L., Victoria TEXAS. January 28'. 1867 E.M. Wheelock Esqu. Supt. of education for F. & R. Galveston Tex. Sir! Inclosed [[Enclosed]] please find School reports from Mrs. Harris and Mr. McBryde. Mr. Avarne did not succeed in getting a School at Halls plantation and he wrote, that he was going to Beeville, Bee Co. to see if he could succeed there. There is no shadow of a chance for him there. If he returns I think I will send him to Lavaca, with your consent. Have you seen Genl. Kiddoo in regard to the School house here? The school furniture will be ready this week, and I will have a large nightschool next month about 30 attending. But I fear that Mrs. Harris will not be in a condition to teach school much longer? especially adults. What would you suggest? She also complains, that she don't receive her fees, she ows [[owes]] considerable here, and is unable to pay. Very Respectfully your obedient Servant Edwd. Miller Capt. and Sub Asst. Coms.
