Capt. H.M. Bush
Sup. Intendent of Education

Sir
My sub Agent at Greensboro, in Hale Co. Mr. Deveen is absent attending meeting of the Legislature. I have therefore referred the application of T.H. Crevett to Judge Blackford for investigation. If he endorses the application as a proper one I shall allow the bill of rent under your order.

I respectfully request to be instructed whether the order endorsed on said letter is to be considered as limited to that single case, or to be a general order authorizing me to aid other schools under like circumstances

Yours Respectfully
R A Wilson
