Dear Sir
Your Circular is before me. Having Secured a competent Teacher for the Freedman in Township 8 Range 21 of this County, This Township will afford a School of 45 or more. I write for information in regards to the establishment of a school for them. As no Suitable house Can be obtained by rent, I wish to know what steps are necessary to be taken in order to obtain aid in building a Suitable house.
As the System of distributing the public funds has undergone a change you will please give me some information in regard to the time & manner of future distribution. Any information respecting the duties of Trustees will be appreciated.
Your obt Svrt.
