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: Webber
