Shelbyville Tenn Oct 21st 1867

Mr. D. Burt: Dear Sir
Yours of the 17th is at hand and I hasten to acknowledge the same.  My School is increasing slowly I have at the time 44 enrolled and I think that it will increase considerably more in a short time.
I think that Mr. Dunlap will be preferred by a majority of those having a right to the house - I hear nothing to the contrary.  I have no intercourse with him, we have not formed each others acquaintance yet.
S.T. Anderson is in Nashville; he left here on Monday of last week.
Very Respectfully,
Your obedient servant
James W. Ford
