He only rented the house so that he might get some money to help pay for it. The colored people thought it for a church + schoolhouse but it is not half paid for yet + that is why they ask rent for it at all

If I can get a larger + a better house I will not keep this one very long, for there is no place to live here, we always lived in the other schoolhouse for it is almost an impossibility to get a boarding house for Negro Teachers in this country. 
So that if you can send the vouchers and have me sign them this month I would like it very much I only receive one days notice to leave the other house so I had to take any house I could get I did not know what contract the Govt had made with the owner of the building so I left immediately please let me know what it was if you know
 I remain
Very respectfully
