Sir 
I would respectfully call your attention to the carelessness and neglect of duty on the part of the Trustees, for the freedmens, School here, during the last two months; they have not attempted to do any one thing to promote the welfare of this School, either by word or action, the weather is very cold here now, we have no wood, but we have a very good stove, but the Trustees will not do any thing to help us on, yesterday and to day also, I had to let the children go home they could not get on with the cold of the School
