realize the importance of giving the aid I have asked. I would respectfully suggest that, should you be willing to allow the 500$ that you place it in the hands of some good man in Huntsville to see it properly used, this will facilitate the improvement contemplated I hope my Dear Young friend Mr Horn (I think) Sub Comr. of Education for this district will have nothing to do with this fund or school. He is too knowing for his age, & seems to be looking in a mirror that reflects nothing but self and he has such an intimate friend J. Pinkney Butler. Ex. Sub. Comr. &c & Delegate to the Constitutional Convention I wish they would go over to the Democratic party..
Hoping that you will consider my application favorably and place me in a working condition at an early day. I will subscribe myself
Very respectfully your obt. svt.
