Until very lately we had seven. We have one school in Lynchburg here at Camp Davis. I gave you some account of that in my letter to you. We have a school at Liberty, Bedford Co. - 25 miles from here. It is taught by Alvin Varner, an earnest man, and Methodist. We own the school house & the grounds about it - that is a very flourishing school. At Fincastle, Botetourt Co. The colored people own the building there. An association contributes one hundred dollars towards it. Mark R. Lloyd is the teacher. I rec'd a letter from him last night. He speaks of a prominent lawyer there (which is the county seat)
