Dr. J.G. Moore

Sir for reply to your note requesting information from me relative to the organization of Colored Schools. I can state no violence, threats or obstructions were put against me as teacher that I heard of  One reason that the School did not open was the want of a house & a want of active interest or Sympathy on part of the citizens in the enterprise & believe that the generality of the citizens would discountenance & disapprove any violent interception that if such should occur it would be by some rash indiscreet persons under some sudden excitement
Respectfully
W.B. Mock
