My Dear Sir
Yours of Dec 18th is at hand and contents noted. In reply I would respectfully state that there is a Freedmen's school in this place a Miss Gilchrist is the teacher and boards at the Hotel when I am stopping I showed her your letter after reading it she remarked about her school did not commence until late in Nov and on the 1st prox or soon thereafter you would receive her report of their school
There is a private school here which I will get the statistics of and send you at my earliest convenience.
I dont like it here a bit
