#83. Office Sub Ass't. Com'r, Bu. R.F. and A.L. 18th Sub. Dist, Moscow, Polk Co., Texas, Nov. 2nd 1868. Rev. Jos. Welch, Supt of Education 5th Military Dist., Austin, Texas. Sir: I have the honor, in compliance with your Circular Letter, dated Oct 20th 1868, to report the Educational condition and prospects of the freedman in my District. I regret exceedingly, that I am compelled to report, that there is not a freedmans school or school house in my Sub. Dist., this fact I have reported monthly since my appointment, and have tried time and again made suggestions upon the subject but as yet to little purpose. I have made application for blanks upon the subject of education, but as yet have received none. I do not desire to confine myself to a formal report upon the subject at present for the reason, that I desire to give you, Sir, a full and complete statement, or report, of the actual condition of things in my Sub Dist in order, that those having the authority may take such measures
