Supt Ed. Va
Dear Sir
I returned from Burkeville, yesterday, where I had been to visit my school, and, having heard nothing of the transaction till I reached the school house, you may imagine my surprise to find a colored Methodist preacher installed as teacher in the school over the one I had there, and to learn that he was in possession of the building as a preaching place when I have frequently preached & expected to do so in the future, with a view of organising a Church as soon as the way should be clear.
