Victoria, Texas, Feb 18th, 1869

Rev. Joseph Welch
Supt.Ed. B.R.G. & A.L. State of Texas

Sir

I have the honor of informing you that the School House I occupied last year has been transferred to the owner, on the last day of January 1869.

The reason I could not rent it for another was, because he wished to tear it down, and rebuild it; which he is doing. Never the less the House was to small for a School House, and the House I have at present will hold from 150 to 200 Scholars.

I also wish you would please send me som Blank School Reports being as I have none.

I am Sir
Very Respectfully
Your Obedient Servant
S. M. Brown
