Judge F. R. Wood
Brenham
Sir
Knowing your willingness 
to aid the freedmen in all their laudable 
undertakings, I herewith enclose the proceedings of a meeting of the freedmen of this place for the purpose of getting up a school- & request pray to aid them in geting some help from the government if posable, your early attention to the matter will greatly oblige the freedmen, and I will assure you that any aid you may get will be faithfully
disbursed for the interests of the freedmen's
Children of this place.
Respectfully,
K.E. Lockette
Secretary Hinson   
Board Trustee
