Dear Sir

Enclosed I send Blanks signed by the teacher as you direct in yours of the 17th inst.

Have you a teacher for Meherrins Station. A teacher is much needed there.  The House is ready and a boarding place secured.  We have suceeded in overcoming the difficulties and organizing the schools here by advancing our private funds to a considerable amount.  A part of which will probably be refunded if we remain here any length of time.  The freedmen are not to be relied upon for such assistance.

I have the honor to be
Respectfully Yours
