The arsenal formerly used by the rebels has been fitted up as a school house for the Freedman of this place and is now in successful operation -
The teacher now in charge is a colored man who charges each pupil one dollar per month for tuition -
The chargeing of one dollar per month keeps a great many children from school for parents who have four or five children are unable to pay if so much for tuition -
I would respectfully request that money enough be appropriated to this school to make it free for all who might choose to attend -
Very respectfully
your obdt sevt
