Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and A. Lands. Marshall Texas, Aug 31st 1866. E.M. Wheelock Esq. Supt of Schools. Sir, I regret being compelled to report a large decrease in the number of scholars attending the school at this point. The cause being a failure on their part to pay their tuition fees, for the past two months. I have great hopes of a large increase in the school, as cool weather advances. I am Sir, Very Respectfully W M Beebee 1st Lieut. V.R.C. Ass't. Sup't. Schools.
