schools of Tuscaloosa organized under efficient teachers and put in such shape, that you can devote a share of your time to opening new schools in adjoining counties. We now have means for repairing school houses and extending our system of schools all over the state.  I need the aid of air efficient, experienced man at your very place for this purpose.  I want suggestions as to good points at which to open schools; - what is needed to secure a good house, what repairs, desks and furniture are needed. Here is a great field for cooperation and as soon as a man enters into it with a will, he can easily earn ($100.00) per month and he shall have it.
I know it requires time to bring about such results, but I have thought you were shaping things to this end in your place and would soon be ready to enlarge operations.
There is an inviting field of labor before you and I hope you will remain and accept it.  Write me soon
Very respectfully
Your obedient servant
C.W. Buckley
