Huntsville, Texas
April 15, 1869
Rev. Jos. Welch
Supt. Public Schools:
Austin, Texas

Dr. Jos:
I have been organizing a colored school at this place since the 1st. March last, with comparative success: I have over sixty scholars at present, but have been so far rather indifferently paid: I have reported to the asst. suprdt. at Nacogdoches, at the proper time in the proper form, and would like to know if there is any salary attached to the school:
If not I cannot teach longer than this month. Can you send a good teacher?
Please answer at your earliest convenience, and oblige
Yours truly,
G. A. Webber
P.S: Were it not for the presence of the military no colored school could be held here:
