A school if an appropriation of (15) fifteen dollars per month for each School the freedmen will make up the balance.  I cannot find [[?]] (15) schallers in any other Dis. which in my estimation will not merit opening a school this Summer.

To give the adults the best advantage will be to have a school kept (4) four hours during the day for children & (3) three hours in the night for the older people who have to work during the day.

There is a great interest shown by the freedmen to learn and they will help all in their power.

Very Respectfully
