13.M.   Endorsement on letters of A N McCullough

Respectfully returned to the Asst Commissioner with the information that I have made personal examination, and find the buildings, presently occupied for school purposes at Huntsville, entirely inadequate both in condition & capacity.
As this is an important point in the State with 1000. colored children to be educated; and as but $900.00 have been expended here for school purposes. I feel free to recommend an appropriation of $4000.00 for the erection of a large and commodious school building, provided the people of huntsville furnish suitable grounds for its erection.
R D Harper
Sup't of Education.
