At San Marcos I organized two schools one in the town, Jacob Glenn Teacher. the other some three miles from San Marcos on the Rio Blanco. Teacher Walter Cossey both white men. I gave them temporary commissions until you could be advised on the Subject and proper com's had from you. I gave them the necessary blanks to make their Reports at the end of the present month and instructions also how to direct &c.. They will expect com from you by the 1st of the month. they are both quite popular with the freed people in the neighbourhood of their Schools. I will not recommend that they be allow'd pay until further tried and until they Report.. I would like to write you about eight pages on this Subject but my letter is already too long for an official letter.

Very truly, and Respectfully your
