Columbia, May 26th, 1866.

Supt for Schools
Galveston

Sir -

I can obtain a building for Freedman School at the rate of $20 per month and, its the only one I can get in Columbia, the building can be rented for only a certain length of time say three months.

There is no school in this place. Shall I rent the building, I can start a school whenever a teacher can be persuaded to take charge of it.

Very Respectfully,
Your Obt Servt
