The above I think is as low estimate of what it will cost to complete our building, and we beseech you to come to our assistance and furnish us the means to complete it, As we have done all we can do in this neighborhood. All of the work that has been done so far, has been raised from this immediate vicinity, not one dollar have we had from any other source

I think we can get a regular school of 35 schollars, as there is no Freedmans school for 6 miles on one side and seven in the other.

We can get a sunday school of sixty schollars.

Hoping that it may meet your approbation to furnish us the means asked for. I am,
Respectfully Yours,
Peter Brooks,

I fully concur in the statements made in the above. I know this people have done well amidst much opposition and deserve aid.
