Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen & Abandoned Lands, Office of Superintendent of Education, Raleigh, N.C., May 23, 1868. Lieut. Jno. M. Foote. A.S.A. Comr. B.R.F. & A-L. Plymouth N.C. Lieutenant, Yours of the 19th inst. is at hand. I have made repeated efforts to procure a teacher for the school at Jamesville but, I regret to say, without success. I fear that I cannot obtain one and think that you had better not depend upon me for one. If you will send me on a paper by itself, so that I can use it officially, a formal petition for a monthly rental of $10.00 commencing May 1st, in favor of the Freedn's school at Coleraine, it will undoubtedly be granted. Yours respectfully F.A. Fiske. Supt. of Education. [L-B. vol. 4. p. 302.]
