Office Sub. Asst. Coms'r
Bureau of R.F and A.L.,
Liberty, Liberty Co. Texas, October 31st 1868.

To Lieut. Charles A. Vernou
A.A.A. General,
Bureau of R.F. and A.L.,
Austin, Texas.

Sir:

On the part of the white people, they all oppose
education and the freedpeople want some one all the time at their sides to get them to learn. I can only talk to them as I go around my Dist: about the advantages of an education at this place. I have a few that I have learned to read and two are writing letters. 

I am Very Respectfully 
Your Obedient Servant
(Signed) A.H. Cox.
