Liberty, Aug 31. 1868.

The white people are opposed to the education of the freedpeople they (the fm.) are anxious to receive an education. I am urging them to get schools that will be self supporting, and think the proper spirit is more and more stirred up. I have managed to get as appropriate papers for them to read (what few can) so they can see what news will that will be an advantage to them & the white people generally. 

If they are prosperous this year and are not swindled out of their hard earnings, they will be able to help themselves in a measure. 

Very Resp &c
