Dr. Sir. 
Your letter of April 1st to Rev Lyman Abbott Genl Secy. has been refd. to this branch. 
It is too late now to send teachers so far south but I should like to know something more about your schools in case we should be able to send you any teachers next October. We now have one school (two teachers) at Huntsville Ala. and five teachers at Okolona Miss.
We have some schools in Tenn. which we think of turning over to the state authorities, in which case we may be able to furnish you with a few teachers though we are unable to say
