Wm Kreigwin for a College — Would that be a better locality? Would Mr. K. give it for our purposes — i.e. for use without prejudice of color — for all Americans native & naturalized white, black & yellow — including African & Chinese descent — ? Probabaly it is too late to attempt anything outside of Houston & Galveston? If we start the Normal School enterprize we will try to furnish a good teacher to take charge at H.
