E M Wheelock Sir

Progress in Books good. Building not going on. Hindrinces mostly by enemies discouraging Colord people nullifying teachers &c, Animosity about the same general disposition on part of some to prevent the establishment of schools Agent at Columbia takes a good stand to better these things..

No school either at Columbia or Brazoria 

Greatest Need Houses, plenty of them but refused for the purpose. Churches being closed because of the work of Northern Missionaries.

Respectfully Yours
