Sir;
In answer to your inquiries regarding the building of a School house at Lavaca I have the honor to transmit herewith the report made by Mr J.O. Stimmson, the teacher at that place. I am of the opinion that the freed people in Lavaca are not able to maintain a school and also to pay any balance due on their lot and building.

I am Sir
Respectfully your Obt Sevt
