Sir

In accordance with a conversation I had with General Swayne a few days ago, I wish to say to you that a lot of ground for a school house has been selected on the Eastern shore Baldwin Co Ala and we wish to know at once if the money will be on hand to build the house as the coloured people will pay for the lot. We also wish to know to when the Deed shall be made.

General Swayne informed me that the money would be placed in your hands to build the house The amount was to be Three hundred Dollars. Pleas communicate with General Swayne at once and inform me of the result.

And oblige
Very Respectfully
S. Moore
