I came here on Saturday even'g last had a mass meeting of the colored people. On Sunday Eg. organized the day school yesterday. (Monday) morning. The evening school. Last Evening today the second session of day school. 

I expect a force of teachers from A M A. in a few days.

There is much opposition to the schools as expected, would be the case
