W79 Headquarters Fifth Military District, STATE OF TEXAS. BUREAU OF REFUGEES, FREEDMEN & ABANDONED LANDS. OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION. Austin. Tex. Dec. 7. 1868. F.P. Wood Esq Sub Asst Com. Dr Sir. Enclosed you will please find Commission for Mr Schoby as requested. The rent for Mr Foster will be allowed as I have recommended it according to arrangement. In speaking with Mr B.O. Watrons, in reference to the rent of the church, I find it has not been paid to him, and so suppose it was to Mr Oliver Watrons. Is this so? I wish to aid in the task Mr Watrons has been engaged in, fitting up the building, and in future the rent must be paid to him, including the month of November, for which Mrs. W. took charge of the school. As the crop is now gathered, the schools ought to sustain the teachers without difficulty: can you not store them up a little. Write me at once. Yours, Jos. Welch
