Office S.A.C. B. R &c Hempstead. Sept. 30. 1868 Lt. Chas. A. Vernou A.A.A.G. The feeling of the whites in this County is passively in favor of the freedmen being educated and have been able to start a school, but it is not a complete success from the fact that the teacher is not entirely adapted to the work & think if I had a good teacher here [[strikethrough]] and [[/strikethrough]] I could sustain a very large school at this point as the freedmen are very anxious to send their children to school: the freedpeople are now able to sustain a school, and are willing to do so. Very Resp &c (Signed) Alex. B. Coggeshall. S.A.C.
