Rev. Wm Geo Hawkins & others
Gentlemen:
Your communication of the 10th inst. bearing a favorable endorsement from Mr. Homstrong has been referred to me. Before recommending it is desirable to know more of what is desired and what is involved.
1 In what shape do you propose to put your school accommodations when complete? if a new building, size &c
2d. What appropriation of money will be required for (1st) transportation of materials, and (2d) labor in construction!
3d Is there likely to be an increase of the colored population, requiring schooling? You will hear in mind that the colored people are expected to do the labor if the Govt furnish the material, or at least the most of it.
Very Respy
