Office Sub Assist Commissioner
B.R.F. &. A.L. Kaufman Texas Sept 9th 1868

To
Rev Jos Welch
Superintendent of Schools.
Austin Texas.

Sir
I have just Received the communication from you of date Aug. 20th 1868, in which you call my attention to the fact that the monthly report for July had not
been forwarded to your office. 
The cause of which was about the first of July some unknown person, or persons distroyed the Freedmans School house, and a few nights after some unknown persons attempted to assassinate Mr Maier the Teacher and he has left the cuntry. 
The School cannot be carried on at this place without some protection. I give this Sir as my opinion judgeing from past circumstances.
