Misses Mary & Ella Smith, teachers at Millican, have also closed their school yesterday, to resume on the 1.s of October 1867. I think I will be able to engage a teacher during the summer months. there are many children who would like to go to school.
The white people are also anxious to have the f.m. educated and steps have been taken by several planters to organize schools and engage teachers without the aid of the Bureau.
Enclosed please find the School Report of Mary & Ella  Smith from June 1867.
I am Sir
Very Respectfully
your obedient servant
