Sir
Enclose you will find an Estimate made out by Mr Stacey (one of our best Carpenters) to put our School Room in good repair.  The amount may be reduced in getting the freedman to assist in dressing the plank without pay.- whatever amt may be appropriated, I will take the bills for the work and Lumber and you may rest assured no money will be paid out on High Charges, Hope you will be able to assist us in getting the amts asked for-
If you would visit Brenham and spend a few days.  if you have power to make appropitons we would get all we ask after you visit our School, and witnessing the progress the Children are making 

Very Truly
Your &c
