Office S.a.C. B.R &c Columbia, Aug 31, 1868 Lt. Chas. A. Vernou A.A.A.G. The freedpeople are trying to establish schools in several localities, but it is almost impossible to secure uniformity of action, however I have two schools started and hope next month to establish two or three more. I want teachers and partial assistance in the construction of the buildings. I should like to build at Brazoria (Est.d cost $600.00) Oyster Creek (200), Gulf Prairie ($200.00) and repair building at West Columbia (150) The freedpeople will do the work on the buildings Very Resp &c (Signed) A.B.
