Remarks.

The freedpeople here, manifest great anxiety to have their children educated, but they are very poor indeed; many of them cannot pay tuition. The disloyal whites do all they can in a sly way, to discourage & prevent the parents from sending their children to school.

The trustees, for this school are of no use whatever, during the last two months the never sent one stick of wood here, for the comfort of the children, and in consequence thereof, School could not be taught several days, tis shameful, to see trustees so very careless. I have talked with them on this matter, but they take no notice of me, therefore I earnestly request to have them stired well up, to a sense of their duty. 

I have no blanks, nor envelopes, please forward some, when most convenient to you.
