State of Tennessee. Assistant Commissioner's Office. Nashville, April 30th, 1868. Murray, Dr. John. Wartrace, Tenn. Sir: Your letter of the 26th. to the late Superintendent of Education has been received. It has been, and is still my desire to aid the colored people at Wartrace in maintaining a school; and especially for the reason that more people have done more toward this object themselves than the colored populations at any other point in the state. If they can procure a suitable teacher and school house, I will see that they have about $43.00 per month to pay the salary and rent - the salary beginning at the opening of the school. I am also ready to appropriate from three hundred to your hundred dollars towards building their school house. If you or some other very reliable citizen of that vicinity would supervise the work of building, the purchase of material, &c, and see that everything is purchased at the lowest price, the work well done, and that the mechanics work faithfully, I would be extremely obliged, and would make reasonable compensation for such services. Whatever may be done in this matter, should be done without delay. Very Respectfully Your Obdt Svt. W. P. Carlin Bvt. Maj Gen'l. Assistant Commissioner. 683 and 684.
