Wilson Mr John L.
Agent &c.
Johnsonville, Tenn
Dear Sir:
In regard to that school house at Johnsonville. I wish to say that the $500.00 originally promised is about used up, or nearly so  If you, can't get active industrious Carpenters there let me know immediately, and I will send one or two down there who will work night and day till it is finished. When you have expended the $500.00 you should call the colored people together and tell them that they must finish it under your  supervision.  If you will assume authority to command them to go and work I think they will do it.
Very respectfully
Your Obedt Servt.
