Dear Sir

I hope you will not be annoyed by my frequent letters relative to the school interests here. The ignorance and depravity I observe all around impale me to do all I can for their improvement I write this for the purpose if possible to find men or means to improve an opportunity to greatly benefit the freedpeople of this county without sacrifice to their helper.

There are two Estates here for sale both well located and near the court House - one [[left margin]]$2,500[[/left margin]] of 500 acres with a good dwelling house &  several small houses & other buildings, price 5 dollars per acre. Could be bought for less. One of 300 acres with an excellent dwelling only about 300 yards from the Court House
