To the Board of Education 
For Freedmen

Having been detailed as a teacher at this depot by your Board I most respectfully wish to state that I now have 124 Scholars enrolled with an average daily attendance of over 70. The application for additional scholars to attend the school is large and I have ample School Room for all that apply.

If it would meet your views I should like to have an assistant I recommend John S. Parkyns. A Private of Co G. 20th Wisconsin Volunteers. as a fit person he having been a faithful laborer with me as a Teacher at Brownsville Texas.

Respectfully 
Your Most Obd't Servt
