I can not make out a correct monthly return so I will not [[?]]. I am going to Marlin to teach school. The people are insisting on me to come and teach for them. the house they want to get is a nice house. Mr. Battle owns the building that the Freedmen wants to get. if you will pay the rent. he asks Fifteen Dollars per. month. they think that there will be thirty five of forty scholars. they have never had any school there of any important. 
and I will start the first of march if you will pay the rent.

Respectfully your obd servant.
