Sir I have the honor of reporting to you that the house for Freedmen's School in this place is about ready for inspection - will be completed by Saturday 13th. Nov.

You can appoint as your Agent here Wm A Welsh Esq. C Carsner County Judge or J P Kean. Either of whom I shall be satisfied with & I Know you will be also.

The work is well done & the material is also good. Perhaps you had better [[strikethrough be [[/strikethrough]] appoint some of the freedmen here, say James Maulden & James Shields I should like the appointment of your "Agent" soon so that it can be done before the Election. Brown continues his school in W R Riply's house & you can send voucher's- Miss Trussel
