Tuscaloosa Ala. March 18th '67. Mr. C.W. Buckley; Supt. of Education Montgomery Ala.

He is teaching this month; but inasmuch as it was against my wish, & I notified him his pay would cease, I hope he will have no remittance from you this month - nor does he expect it. The increase of my school has been such as to enable me to give Mr. Heart 47 scholars & to keep 40 myself. I desire another teacher to be here by the 1st of April without fail.
