Office S.A.C. B. R &c Liberty, Aug 31. 1868. Lieut. Chas. A Vernou A.A.A.G. 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 (Signed) A.H. Cox S.A.C. No teacher.
