The whites are desirous to see the f.m. educated and are assisting them in the erection of School house. I have one School house in this Co on a plantation but cannot obtain the service of a teacher, and there [[three?]] more houses will soon be completed in Freestone Co. I don't know how they would be best assisted unless to provide teachers, this they want and are perfectly willing to pay a reasonable salary to a competent teacher.

Very Resp &c
