Burton Sub Asst Commr at Eufaula for his action. He is authorized to take such steps as may be necessary to secure a school at Troy by paying rent to, and it will be necessary for you to make report of school monthly to him. You will find several blanks enclosed which you can use. Respectfully R.D Harper Supt Education Montgomery March 24 Cravath E.M. Rev. 59 Dear Bro We can furnish in the City of Montgomery three additional school rooms and at least two hundred pupils who are able to pay the usual tuition fees. Can you furnish three additional Teachers.

We also think it best that some one association should occupy each separate field or district to avoid unpleasant competition. If the A M Association therefore cannot occupy the entire field in Alabama Could you not so arrange as to arrange as to occupy certain points -- fully and permanently.
